t\ FTER much serious thought the staff of the
(j v ’28 B Maldonian came to the conclusion
that publishing a year book is a serious business,
much more so, at least, than appears on a mere
cursory examination.
We are accustomed to see classes come and go;
to see careers moulded and shaped in the years
of high school life; to see each class, upon its
departure, inevitably publishing what we are
pleased to call a “year book”. How little we
have appreciated the true significance of that
volume! We can understand now why that book
was more precious “Yea, than much fine gold”.
Its complete significance will just begin to dawn
on us after years have passed and will serve to
bring back forgotten memories, when tenderly,
yes, reverently we will turn these yellowed pages
and recall the extraordinary career of the class
of ’28 B in Malden High School.
We believe that the successful consummation of
this task is an operose and delicate matter, and
we question whether we are capable or worthy
of it. We have tried our utmost, however, and in
your hands you are holding the product of our
labors. If, then, this book will serve to bring
back fond memories of former times and faithful
friends, the staff will consider its work well done,
its purpose accomplished, and its task ended.

Dependent America
Louis Weiner
The United States is at present enjoying
an unprecedented position in international
life. Our national debt is comparatively
small ; we are strong in resources ; our ex¬
ports safely exceed our imports ; our stan¬
dard of living is high ; and our bankers con¬
trol the gold of the world. Under the
circumstances it is but natural that many of
our citizens should accept the situation as it
appears on the surface, and that they should
believe that the United States can very well
manage to maintain her prosperity independently of the rest of the world.
This attitude is one of the reasons advanced for our refusal to participate
officially in many international movements. We see no need of cooperation
that would cost us our apparent economic independence.
A little careful study, however, proves the insecurity of this attitude.
The United States has always been economically dependent. As early as
1807, conflict between our vessels and those of foreign countries compelled
Congress to pass the Embargo Act which forbade our ships leaving our
harbors for foreign ports. Our naval trade was then the backbone of our
commercial life, and Congress was overwhelmed with protests from Amer¬
ican business men whose wealth was being undermined by cessation of for¬
eign intercourse. In fifteen months the act was repealed, but it had
caused New England merchants alone a loss of eight million dollars.
Although our first protective tariff was passed in 1816, it was not until
after the Civil War that our domestic manufactures began to vie success¬
fully with foreign competitors in our own country. In only three years
before 1876 had United States exports exceeded her imports. Before the
Civil War it was foreign capital that had developed our resources. In 1839
Fresident Jackson estimated that about $200,000,000 which had been em¬
ployed in national improvement was owed by states and corporations to
European creditors.
The Civil War marked a new era in our economic life. Trusts and
corporations sprang up ; Big Business overshadowed Little Business. More
recently, the World War boomed our industries tremendously. In short,
so extensively have we developed that we are now the world’s foremost
industrial and manufacturing nation.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
Has complete economic independence accompanied great power? Are
we finally self-sufficient? Can we afford to isolate ourselves from inter¬
national economic intercourse? No less dependent are we now in our
greatness than we formerly were in our growth. The change in our situ¬
ation is only an apparent one. United States industry finds that, because
of its remarkable expansion and the multiplying demands of the domestic
consumer, our once plenteous resources must be complemented from foreign
nations, and our capitalists have found it necessary to obtain concessions
wherever possible in foreign countries, our foreign investments in 1927
totalling thirteen billion dollars.
How tragically would our prosperity crash if we should isolate our¬
selves economically for only one year! Our pleasure automobiles would
stand idle in their garages and our trucks would no longer transport their
loads — , for we would have no rubber from which to make tires. Tea,
coffee, cocoa, sugar, and bananas would no longer grace our tables. Our
maids and matrons would have to go without soft silk garments. Since
an enormous quantity of our wood pulp comes from Canada, our news¬
papers would be forced to reduce their size and frequency. Our wheat
would lie ungathered in our fields, for the twine used in binding it is a pro¬
duct of Yucatan. Our supply of leather would be cut almost in half, and
we would be obliged to do without many of our leather accessories. Shoes
would become almost a luxury. Pearly whiteness of teeth would disap¬
pear — we would produce practically no bristle for tooth brushes. What
would we substitute for the burlap that now comes from India? What
would our greatest industry, steel, do without manganese, chromium, tin,
nickel, and tungsten? Our printers would wrack their heads to discover
some substance for antimony in making their type. War would find us
totally unfit. Col. Harley B. Ferguson, corps of United States engineers,
lists thirty strategic materials for war which we lack entirely, or of which
we do not produce enough even for peace requirements.
Then, too, the lack of these raw materials would effect the entire field
of industry. Consider the multitude of people who would be deprived of
their livelihood if these raw materials should never reach our shores. The
rubber industry alone paid out two hundred and thirty one million dollars in
wages in 1923. Think of the loss in revenue to our government. Imagine
how prices of the most common articles would soar until they became the
scarcest luxuries.
Truly indeed, is the United States bound with all the other nations of
the world in an economic league of nations which can be shattered only
at the cost of bringing our mighty industries to a standstill and by under¬
mining our economic life and national prosperity. Not only is our inde¬
pendence manifest in those foreign resources which we import ; it extends
its tentacles into our foreign concessions and investment, our foreign loans,
and our urgent necessity for foreign markets. To talk of complete national
isolation is either unpardonable ignorance or shameful hypocrisy.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
President Coolidge struck the keynote of our foreign relations and
inter-dependence in his memorial day address at Gettysburg: “The world
wide interests of the United States aside from the dictates of humanity
make us view with peculiar disfavor not only any danger of being involved
in war ourselves but any danger of war among other nations. Our invest¬
ments and trade relations are such that it is almost impossible to conceive
of any conflict anywhere on earth which would not effect us injuriously.
The one thing that we want above ail else for ourselves and for other
nations is the continuance of peace. Whether so intended or not, any
nations engaging in war would thereby necessarily be engaged in a course
prejudicial to us.”
The United States has already been described as economically depend¬
ent throughout her whole history. The future holds promise of still
further augmenting our reliance on every nation. In view of our impera¬
tive foreign relations, it is highly desirable that we find some way of
securing our necessities and our investments. We cannot always bully
weak nations or war with powerful ones. Political disturbances in any
country are detrimental to our interests. Our need of a stable, peaceful
method of adjusting disputes is clearly an urgent one. The Permanent
Court of International Justice was established for that express purpose,
and its growing power and achievements are far more than justifying its
existence.
There are three courses open to the United States regarding this
institution. She can maintain a pretext of isolation and absolutely refuse
to join it; she can send unofficial delegates to it and enjoy most of its
privileges without sharing the responsibility as she now does; or she can
join it officially and sincerely. The first mode of procedure provides us
with false safety without any insurance for emergency. The second is a
hypocritical, cowardly policy. That, too, may leave us stranded at an
inopportune time. The last course is the one honorable and secure method
of securing our safety.
To enter the Permanent Court of International Justice is a wise and
logical guarantee of our prosperity. Shall we, the people of the United
States, whose public opinion determines the policy of our nation, trust
blindly to the future, or shall we embrace this opportunity to lay the
foundations of a lasting and prosperous peace?

Growth of the Playground System in America
Edith Grossman
In this modern day there is ever-increas¬
ing activity centered in cities. This know¬
ledge is a factor in drawing more people into
the city to live. During the Revolutionary
Period 3% of the population lived in cities
whereas at the present time about 60% of
the population are city dwellers. What does
this mean? It means that the child of yes¬
terday played in the open spaces of the coun¬
try village or on the farm, but the child of
today has to look to the city streets for a
place to play. And now, the child is being driven off the streets by traffic.
Where shall he play?
America must be aroused to the needs of the city child. No one will
question the right of a child to play. Then no one ought to question the
need to provide a place for him to play.
The Greeks held their games as an integral part of religion and
patriotism. In the medieval city the knights held their tourney, the
trade-guilds their pageants. Only in the modern city have men concluded
that it is no longer necessary for the municipality to provide for play.
The beginning of the playground movement came to us from Germany,
and was started in Boston in the late ’80’s. This came in the form of sand
gardens for small children. The next step was the establishment of fully
equipped playgrounds, in which were provisions not only for the small
children but for older boys and girls as well.. The first such establishment
was not called a playground, but was the Charles Bank Outdoor Gym¬
nasium opened in Boston. From these early institutions playgrounds
increased slowly throughout the country. Due to the untiring efforts of
the National Playground Association, we find that while thirteen years ago
there weie only foity cities with playgrounds, now there are 790 communi¬
ties with supervised parks and playgrounds.
Let us consider the nature of play. What is play ? For the child, it
is life; it affords the opportunity for the exercise of his creative powers.
The play instinct is a universal motive for all children, and is essential for
the growth and development of their intellectual life.
Play is pr epai ation for life, and to understand it is to understand life.
Cailyle said, Theie is a sheep-like tendency in mankind to flock together
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
and to have a leader, and this tendency is first manifested in childhood.”
The playground affords the child this opportunity for teamwork.
The child learns on the playground the rights of others. He learns
how to compete for advantage honestly. The language of the playground
recognizes the ethical worth of play. How often do we hear the words,
“play the game,” “fair play,” “good team-work,” “good sportsmanship.”
These all mean something fine. Honor, sense of duty, self-control, and
a strict regard for truth — these essentials of character — make play a
valuable undertaking for a community.
The playground is an excellent place in which to develop character.
The child mind is plastic and imitative; his habits, his tastes, his values
are moulded by his surroundings. Character is the product of properly
guided activity. That which enlists a boy’s loyalty is not what you do for
him, but what you get him to do for you.
Participation in play also develops the motor qualities — the executive
and administrative side of life. Activity satisfies the deep urge within
every individual for action and accomplishment.
To play in the sunlight is a child’s right. What he is cheated of it,
it is not the child but the community that is robbed. In contrast to the
child all the wealth of a community is but tinsel and trash, for men, not
money make a country great. Joyless childhood does not make for sane
and healthful manhood.
Let us look at the other side of the matter. What happens when the
child is deprived of his privilege to play? Court records show that the
playless children make up the principal part of our prison population.
Organized play is an effective preventive for juvenile wrong-doings.
Latent criminality has no chance for development when boys and girls
have an opportunity for clean play. Judge Lindsay, the well-known
authority of juvenile courts has said, “It is no longer to be questioned that
the best method of fighting crime is to begin where crime begins, and we
must look for relief through measures that are preventive. The boy
needs to be taught where fun ends and law begins. When he is taught, he
becomes truthful, generous and honest.” Repeatedly this fact has been
established. Let me cite one instance. In the industrial center of the
southern part of New York State, juvenile delinquency has been reduced
96% in the course of five years because of the creation of parks and play¬
grounds.
What is a factor in making a comparatively bright boy become a
criminal? He is a criminal because our congested communities furnish
him with an environment that makes a criminal career entertaining, ab¬
sorbing, and profitable. A change in his environment will stop his be¬
coming a criminal, and this will open up and make more alluring and
interesting a law-abiding career.
The greatest objection to playgrounds is the cost. But remember, a
playground built today saves the building of a block of jails and hospitals
tomorrow. Playgrounds are among our latest municipal developments,
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
and it is these that always suffer most when a city sets out to become
economical. We want economy. But can we afford it at the expense of
citizenship?
We all know that a boy does not suddenly attain citizenship as he
reaches his twenty-first birthday. The characteristics are formed before
the age of twelve. Democracy demands the best type of citizenship. The
child of today is the citizen of tomorrow. Shall we economize at the ex¬
pense of the child?
Listen to the sound advice of Jane Addams, “We may either smother
the divine fire of youth or we may feed it. We may either stand staring
as it sinks into a murky fire of crime and flares into an intermittent blaze
of folly, or we may tend it into a lambent flame, with power to make clean
and bright our dingy city streets.”
VALE
MEMBERS OF THE GRADUATING CLASS:
The time has come when we must leave Malden High School. Never
again will so many members of our class be assembled in one place.
The future lies before us. It has been said that the young people are
the hope of the world. Then it follows that upon us rests the obligation of
doing all the good that we can do.
Let us see that the children get a square deal. The nation must take
care of its children. From that duty it cannot and shall not escape.
As members of the Graduating Class going out from this school, to
become within a few years the citizens of Malden, could we at this time
make a finer resolve than that made by the men of old Athens when they
were admitted into the Athenian Army :
“We will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city, both alone
and with many. We will revere and obey the city’s laws and do our best
to incite a like respect and reverence in those above us who are prone to
annul or to set them at naught. We will strive unceasingly to quicken
the public’s senses of civic duty. Thus, in all these ways we will transmit
this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it
was transmitted to us.”

What Price Good Government?
George Lodgen
All democratic government is based up¬
on an ideal, the ideal of sincere service per¬
formed by honest and conscientious men.
Such men, however, have not always been
available to fill the many public offices of
trust. Because of this, the true Utopian
state of representative government has never
been attained. At various times in the his¬
tory of our country men have been false to
their trust, and the public faith has been
shaken.
Coincident with the great wave of low public morality that was sweep¬
ing the country after the Civil War, the first great political scandal oc¬
curred. Secretary of War Belknap was found guilty of appropriating
immense sums of money for his own purposes, was ousted from office and
punished. The second sensational breach of political trust was effected by
“Boss” Tweed and his associates in New York in 1870. Here again public
opinion was aroused to such a pitch that Tweed received a heavy fine and
was sent to prison for twelve years.
The transgressions of men in high political office did not stop there,
however. After the world War another wave of crime swept across the
nation which threatened to undermine all ideals and conceptions of public
service that Americans as a Nation had cherished for so long. Warren G.
Harding, always a staunch party man by reason of his obligations to the
party machine, followed party precedent by giving important positions in
his cabinet to those men who had aided materially or in other ways in his
election. At that time the records of some of these men were known to be
infamous; they were known to be political schemers who exerted them¬
selves where there was benefit for themselves. Yet, in spite of this, the
principal characters of the so-called “Ohio gang” that had elected Harding
were placed in responsible positions so that ultimately they were pulling the
strings that moved the presidential marionette. Thus it came about that
Albert B. Fall was named Secretary of the Interior; Denby, Secretary of
the Navy; and Daugherty, Attorney General, — all three positions of the
highest honor and utmost responsibility.
The United States directly after the war, not knowing what other
crises might arise, deemed it expedient to set aside for future use several
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
large government-owned reservoirs of oil for government use exclusively.
So it was that Navy Oil Reserve No. 1 and Navy Oil Reserve No. 3 were
given directly into the tender care of Fall, Denby, and Daugherty when
those gentlemen entered office. Immediately the Teapot began to brew.
But the incomprehensible part of the whole situation is that influential men
knew of the crooked affair and sat quietly and passively through it all. Mr.
Coolidge, as Vice President, sat in the cabinet when the leases were granted
to Sinclair and Doheny. Various Newspaper representatives were aware
of the situation and if any dared to send a report back to the managing
editor that report was most conveniently lost. The conjectures that were
contained in these articles were later on established as facts. Mr. Fall
and Mr. Denby, together with the judicial side of the cabinet as represented
by Mr. Daugherty, for a certain corrupt consideration willingly and with
deliberate intention, signed over oil reserves 1 and 3 to Messrs. Sinclair and
Doheny.
The situation burst upon the public, yet, such was the moral apathy
that it found them only mildly interested. Where a question of right and
wrong conduct on the part of government officials was concerned, very few
troubled themselves. Their attention was aroused only by an investigation
of Fall’s personal affairs to determine, whether or not, and how much, he
had been paid for his part in the iniquitous transaction. Then the public
assumed the righteously horror stricken and pietistic attitude, but alas,
too late, the mischief was done.
The ugly part of the affair was the outcome ; despite the overwhelming
weight of evidence produced by that valiant prosecutor, Senator Walsh of
Montana, Sinclair was freed, completely exonerated. Recently I read of a
man who received a term of imprisonment for stealing fifty dollars because
he was actually in want. Contrast Sinclair’s case. He stole not fifty
dollars, but nearer five million; not from one single individual, but from
an entire nation, from 115,000,000 of people; not from dire necessity, but
from greed for more ; and today he is free while that other man who stole
because he was hungry is serving his time. It makes one query: “This
Justice, what is it; For whom is it?”
The case has continually been before the eyes of the public for more
than four years and every upright citizen has been sickened to see the
whole affair become merely a battle between the keen wits of the pro¬
secuting and the defending attorneys instead of the real trial between
right and wrong. In the midst of the investigations, we find that those
men upon whom we have placed the burden of our trust have utterly de¬
ceived us. Their statements are proved unquestionably to be lies, as black
and false as their actions.
Needless to say, all this is having a very serious effect on the citizen
morality of the nation. If the chief executive and his subalterns sin, in
whom can we have faith? In whom can we place our trust? Our fondest
illusions as to honesty and manliness in government are brutally shattered
by the infamous deeds of those we have deemed above reproach. The
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
natural tendency, then is for every honest man to become disgusted with
the whole business of politics and to steer clear of any complications with it.
The ultimate result of political infamy is discouraging to contemplate.
It means a division of sentiment that should all be directed towards hon¬
esty in government; it means that America, the paragon of democracy
must lose the respect and admiration of the nations ; and worst of all, it
means the loss of faith and furthermore the development of cynicism of
the governed toward those in high office. Heaven forbid that such a thing
should ever come to pass ! America is still too young to lose her faith in
men and government by men ; her future is too brightly shining with the
possibility of great achievements. Only our hope and boundless belief in
the men who are coming, the men of tomorrow, remains. In this plea for
uprightness in all who fill offices of trust and responsibility we can but echo
the prayer of the poet: “God give us men.
The time demands strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and willing hands ;
Men whom the lust of office does not kill ;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
Men who possess an opinion and a will;
Men who have honor;
Men who will not lie;
Men who can stand before a demagogue and damn his treacherous flatteries
without winking;
Tall men, sun-crowned who live above the fog in public duty and in private
thinking.”

Service
Rebecca Hawley
Ever down through all the ages men have
heard a ringing challenge —
Men have heard the call to service
“Give your all in service.
Go!”
They have striven under hardships, barriers to goals seen dimly,
Goals that seemed to be receding in the distance as they labor,
Suffering and sacrificing their desires to noble service.
Disappointments, ideals shattered, forcing some to quit the battle,
Spurring some to glorious vict’ry, meet reward for dangers risked.
Long ago did good Aeneas seek the site of Rome’s foundation;
Richard, called the Lion-Hearted, nobly led his brave crusaders;
Joan of Arc, inspired by Saints, gave to France her soul’s devotion.
Willingly, without demur, waiving selfish aspiration,
Men have answered to the challenge.
“Give, your all in service.
Go!”
In this day and generation, men are striving still and serving,
Spending lavishly their manhood, strong to aid their fellow-beings.
These will be the honored heroes of the coming generations,
Will be pointed out for service as high-minded men and noble.
We who take our places in the race to run in Life’s relay,
We who are to take the torch, guard it, and pass it on to others,
We must welcome work and hardship, grow in strength of soul and body,
We must strive and wait and labor, serving richly those who follow.
In the future through the ages we shall answer to a challenge _
Hear you now the call to service?
“Give your all in service.
Go!”
When the battle all is over and your life is nearly ended,
When the scoie is plainly written on the books of Time’s accounting,
When your record, dark or shining, stands before your eyes so clearly,
Or commending or accusing, for your answer to the challenge,
May you look back on this moment, heart and soul with memories crowded
Living o’er, experiencing all your life in one short second,
Glow with pride at your achievements, difficult, worth-while, and splendid
Hear and answer to the challenge.
“Give your all in service.
Go!”
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
Class Bar Oration
George W. Ferguson
My Children: —
I noticed on arising from my place here,
that a majority of you settled back in your
chairs as though you were resigning your¬
selves to a period of suffering, to which you
were reluctantly reconciled. Now, this is an
abhorrent sight to any speaker, to say the
least, but to me it was also an incentive.
An incentive it was to bring to your atten¬
tion some things about this school, which it
has taken this class four years to find out
and which I propose to deliver to you in about four minutes. Thus en¬
lightened, you will be able at the close of this assembly to go immediately
to senior home rooms, and with little instruction, to be graduated forth¬
with. Moreover, this advice is costing you nothing, while our unfortunate
seniors are paying five dollars for it.
A friend said to me recently, “The High School contains the queerest
collection of humanity imaginable; but,” he added, “I’ll be blessed if I know
which floor would take the cake.”
I said I thought it was about even between them, except for the
warped boards in the corridors on the second and third floors. “No”, he
answered, “the first floor would have the advantage, since it contains the
seniors, who are in themselves head liners.” Yet there is nothing slow
about the crowd on the second floor, while those on the third floor are the
fastest. (They have to be, since they have thrice the distance to go in the
same time.) Their speed is especially noticeable at 7.59 in the morning.
Now this set me thinking ! I resolved instantly to acquaint you with
some of the helpful facts concerning your school. Therefore let us look
over the several floors of the building.
The first object of note that looms up on every floor is John sweeping
up the Wrigley and Hershey wrappers that some athlete was too weary to
deposit in the waste basket. But on the first floor, wherever you may
turn north, south, east or west, you see the members of the most note¬
worthy class in school, — the seniors. Take Arthur Baker, for instance.
A fellow said to Arthur one day, “Arthur, why don’t you grow up like a
tree?” Arthur replied, “I am like a tree.” Now we all know by Arthur’s
marks that he is no wooden head, so the afore mentioned fellow said,
“Indeed, in what respect are you like unto a tree?” “Well,” replied Arthur
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
proudly, “I’m a chip of the old block.” There’s a bunch in our class just
like that — smart, witty, up and coming. You can see them all right here.
In this collection of humanity the faculty on the first floor are not a
negligible quantity. First there’s Miss Abbott. She believes in those
famous lines of Shakespeare, “All the world’s a stage and all the men and
women but mere players,” at least that’s what we all thought at the faculty
reception. Then there’s Miss Slattery, who, as we all know, is frightfully
ignorant on politics ; Miss Ireland, Miss Whittum and Miss Herrick, — all
three addicted to the use of a dead language, — and believe me, it is dead,
dead and should be buried. It’s old enough. Mr. Hall in 121 completes the
first section, except when he’s hastening from one floor to another in an
attempt to keep up with his classes.
The second section is a hearty triumvirate, — the rulers of the mob,
and here the fun begins. First comes Mr. Wilson. He loves to tease the
freshmen, but some of them know him too well and realize to their sorrow,
his playfulness. Only yesterday I overheard a freshman say to his friend,
as they came out of Mr. Wilson’s office, “I never mind him, except when
I have done something.” Next is Mr. Jenkins. You all know how he can
cover, with that Harvard stride of his, the distance between the High
School and the Athletic Field. And Mr. Nash! Do you know he’s a
regular full sized western tornado at blowing you into a corner when you
mispronounce ‘harass’ or some other embarrassing word.
In the third section comes our future playwright, actor and philoso¬
pher, Mr. Bartlett. Mr. Jones does his shining on the diamond under
shining skies, Miss Dyer who makes her living with her shorthand, and
Miss Ruston, I’m glad to say is more up to date in her language than the
Dead-languagists at the eastern end of the corridor.
Now, on the second floor we encounter first a trio of French teachers, _
Miss Varnum, Miss Berton, and Miss Cooper. Miss Cooper has had a ter¬
rible time trying to get our class to distinguish between the gasping of her
pupils and their actual usage of the preposition ‘a’. Then we have a trio
of English teachers, Miss Gilman, who loves to puzzle out vague statements
in class test, Miss Watts, leader of the class which will attempt, in vain no
doubt, to fill our place, and Miss Peaslee who told a boy one recess to hasten
to her home room, as the elevators at the west end of the building (as well
as the electric lights in the corridor) had been out of commission ever since
she had been a member of the faculty.
Following these we have a tiio of History teachers, — Miss Dearborn,
our worthy class adviser, Miss Dolliff, and Mr. Matthews, who is consider¬
ing, we are sure, writing a large volume entitled, “City Politics of Hmh
School Boys.”
Next we come to the library with its shelves of untouched books.
This refers to the students ; it does not refer to the librarian, Miss Child
who keeps the whole place, books and all, free from dust by her sweeping
statements. Moreover, because of the scarcity of pupils there, entrance
may be gained by handing the librarian a silly old blue slip, which really
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
doesn’t matter a straw as anyone going there can easily see. The slip is
simply the record of the rare visits of the students and might be done away
with if a few more came.
Tucked away in a remote corner of this floor, where he can regulate
the temperature to suit himself, there dwells a funny old fellow who teaches
geometry to fine classes of “poor fish.” I like my class with him because
I feel at liberty to leave the room promptly when the bell rings, and inci¬
dentally return promptly at 1.15. It was here one day that Donley asked
Antonucci, if he had done his lesson of the previous night. “Sure” said
Antonucci, “It was chicken”. “Did you get the guzzinta?” queried Donley.
“The guzzinta? What in heavens name is the guzzinta?” “Oh, you
know, — two goes into four, four goes into eight, etc.” But who is this
fellow? Why, who could it be but Mr. Batchelder.
Other celebrities on this floor include John Rood, who frequently lacks
head room, (now don’t misunderstand me; I mean he finds difficulty in lo¬
cating space for his head when he stands up) Bob Lapidus, the Franco-
Spanish tenor, and many other stars who are wending their way to fame.
Time has dulled my memory. I can but vaguely recall the third floor,
the freshmen’s paradise. There comes dimly to my mind echoes of x2
minus the quantity, — something about questions, then “ ’rase it”. Shaded
figures of Silas Marner, The Ancient Mariner, force as a factor in work,
H20, the fourth leg of the fly, credit, asset, liability, — all float as a cloud
past my mind.
And now our journey is nearly over and you are completely educated.
There remain a few things yet untold, as, Mr. Bartlett delights in noise;
the school hasn’t used striped ink for years, and the typewriting teachers
are overjoyed when pupils from the physics laboratory use their room as
an avenue of escape from tardiness.
But, after all, experience is perhaps the best teacher. It has taught
Mr. Bartlett’s home-room pupils to appreciate Wilson’s “Democracy of
Today”. It has taught Catherine Riley that Muzzy is quite right in
saying that the discovery of America was an accident. Catherine said
the discovery of America was a mistake. Experience has taught every
one I know of, except Bill Davis. But I think that Bill’s is forgetfulness.
You see Bill is suposed to go from 111 to trigonometry the first period, but
Frightfully forgetful as he is, he starts every day toward 113, and if it
wasn’t for some accommodating young ladies down there I am sure he
would never see the third floor. These ladies, one in particular, always
put him on the right track.
To Father Experience I commend you, with the advice I have already
given you. Now my children, take heed — obey your parents, be kind to
your teachers, and you shall some day shine on this platform, even as we
do, but of course not so brilliantly.

Freshmen? Oh yes, we were once. But
we were much different from any other fresh¬
men that had ever entered Malden High
School. We were so important that Mr.
Jenkins required everyone’s autograph on
that first day, Sept. 8, 1924, a date that every
citizen of Malden well remembers. No ancient
jokes about elevators or fifth floor home
rooms fooled us. We were far too superior
for that. School bags, long trousers, and
self-confidence were much in evidence the
first few days ; the first and last, however, quickly disappeared.
By the end of the first ranking period we were on equal footing with the
Seniors, Class I and Class VIII holding first place on the honor roll. In
December, after much competition, Louis Weiner was elected Freshman
Editor of the Blue and Gold.
After much hard work, and more or less study, we at last entered Class
II. That semester our scholarship was so high that we headed the honor
roll. Among other notable attainments the most notable in Class II was
that George Lodgen’s name appeared in the Blue and Gold as Associate
Editor.
Then came our vacation. That meant ten weeks of freedom from all
our trials. In September, as Sophomores, we came back to take up the
leadership of the school again. Baggy trousers were the style that fall
and our boys were right in style. Dominic Antonucci was so enveloped you
could hardly find him among the folds.
Early that semester we organized under the direction of Miss Dear¬
born, our Class Adviser. We selected Marshall Newcomb, President;
Dorothea Thompson, Vice President; Rebecca Hawley, Secretary; and John
Brookes, Treasurer.
In Class IV our first play, “Miss Civilization”, was put on. The entire
performance was one laugh after another, the greatest coming when
Dwight Duke played the role of pie-eater. With him in the cast were
Elizabeth Landin, George Lodgen, Louis Weiner, and Sidney Shepard.
After the play everyone went to the gym for refreshments and dancing.
On the diamond that spring we were well represented by George
Trickey and “Nemo” Kerwin. After vacation both boys were on the
football squad as were O’Leary and Velleman.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
At last we were truly grown up. The second floor home rooms do add
to the importance of a class. That semester we elected as officers : George
Lodgen, Janice Copeland, Rebecca Hawley, and Stanley Ames. We had
another party, putting on “Jerry”, a clever one act comedy. The cast
consisted of Elizabeth Landin, Hazel Moore, Sidney Shepard, and Arthur
Simonds. After the play we went to the gym. Here the members of the
stronger sex stood on the sidelines, glueing their heels to the wall and
longing to dance with the lady of their choice as their more courageous
comrades were doing. Here, too, the teachers were kept busy by the
surprising attention shown them by some poor souls afraid of flunking.
What a discovery we made when we were in Class VI ! We found that
we were rich ! Since that time neither our treasurer nor adviser have had
to worry about funds. Advisers of other classes, weep that you have not
had the honor of advising our class. How much less gray hair you would
have !
We were well-represented that semester in various activities. Sara
Winer upheld the honor of the girls in basketball. Our President, always
on the job, took first prize in the Cog Prize Speaking Contest and then
walked off a winner in the Colby College Speaking Contest. In the Girls’
Glee Club production, “The Japanese Girl,” Charlotte Solomont starred in
the role of old maid.
Our first public appearance was our march through the streets of
Malden to the stadium on Field Day. What a colorful spectacle we made,
arrayed in our colors, blue and white! Every one who was there will
remember the distinctive and original features of Class VI. Yes, we won
the banner, and demonstrated that there was quality in our class, if not
quantity. We felt that we had earned our last summer vacation from
Malden High School. We took it, some enjoying it so much that they
decided to stay in school another year.
Seniors at last! What a name to conjure with! We soon found,
however, that it means “hard work”. Something in the name or its in¬
fluence added to Arthur Baker’s importance, for he claims that he increased
one quarter of an inch in height. Although we were denied the privilege
of viewing the rainbow, Prof. Graves furnished us with all the colors (in
the form of a sweater) and a few new ones that even Mr. Smith can’t
account for.
We re-elected our officers, with the exception of Secretary — Dorothea
Thompson was chosen for that office. When she left school, we elected
Charlotte Solomont to fill her place.
As seniors we were well-represented on the football squad, Boehm,
Kerwin, McGranahan, O’Leary, Trickey, and Velleman getting letters.
In Class VII, we decided to make our reception the best ever given.
We think we succeeded. We presented a snappy play, “The Little Bluffer,”
starring Charlotte Solomont, Rebecca Hawley, Dorothea Thompson, Dwight
Duke, and Sidney Shepard. As usual we adjourned to the gym, joined in
a snake dance, and had a general good time.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
Eight new members were installed in the National Honor Society at
the close of the semester. Miss Margaret Slattery delivered the address,
after which the song, “Follow the Gleam,” was sung. The new members
were Philip Boothby, George Lodgen, Mary Mrose, Charlotte Solomont,
John Staren, Dorothea Thompson, Louis Weiner, and Sara Winer.
In Class VIII, no longer had the teachers any jurisdiction over us.
For proof I quote Clara Gilman, who was addressing Mr. Batchelder, “I’m
not arguing, I’m telling you something.” Yes, at last we were in a place
to tell the teachers something, whether they believed it or not.
The election of our Year Book Staff was the first important event.
George Lodgen was chosen Editor-in-Chief; Charlotte Solomont and
Dominic Antonucci, Associate Editors.
The Young People’s Council of the First Baptist Church, on May 18,
gave a reception in our honor. There, we started a race to fill our pro¬
grams with the autographs of our classmates. The stirring address, the
wholesome entertainment, and the hearty good-will combined to furnish
us an evening to be remembered.
Soon afterwards the faculty announced the graduation parts: Louis
Weiner, salutatorian ; Edith Grossman, valedictorian; and George Lodgen,
orator.
On May 22, the Glee Clubs entertained the Senior Class with a faculty
program. On the varied program Miss Child was announced as a Mezzo-
Soprano. Who would have guessed it? We discovered, however, that we
had unearthed Grand Opera talent.
Our teachers showed us another side of their versatile characters, on
Friday night, June 1. The program consisted of a piano solo by Miss
Watts, a monologue by Miss Abbott, a play, “The Rehearsal”, by several
members of the faculty, and a faculty chorus which rivaled our much
praised Senior Chorus.
The gala day in our history dawned bright and fair. On that great
day, June 11, we had a vacation from school to go to Whalom Park. It
took five busses to pack us in, and truly we were packed. Before dinner
everyone looked the place over, and spent their money. Cameras were
everywhere. If you don’t believe it, ask Miss Dearborn and Mr. Batchelder.
After dinner the lake was dotted with boats and canoes. One of the
girls tried to prove that her sex was not the weaker, at least in playing
skee ball. She demonstrated her ability, under the direction of Miss
Slattery. She succeeded — in shattering an electric light. To our dismay,
we were instructed to leave at four. The trip home furnished many novel
experiences, to say the least.
And now Class Day has arrived, to be swiftly followed on Wednesday
night by Graduation, when we shall receive our coveted diplomas. We
hope our attainments will live on the annals of Malden High School.
What concerns her, and what concerns us, most, however, is the future.
Whatever we do, wherever we go, we hope the class of 1928-B will be
worthy of Malden High.

Slowly the light canoe glides over the placid waters of Whalom Pond,
waters like a mirror in which the reflection of the moon seems a crystal ball.
As we dreamily gaze at this magic sphere of moonlight beauty, we recall
the happy day long since past when a hundred laughing boy and girl
graduates of M. H. S. frolicked and played on the velvety green banks of
this very lake. While watching this silvery circle, greatly resembling the
crystal ball of the old Hindu, it brings to us our innermost thoughts and
what is more it shows the destinies of our former class-mates.
B. What is that? Why, it’s the familiar grin of dear old Dom
Antonucci. And what is that blueprint in his hand? Say, it’s the plan for
a new roller coaster at Canobie Lake Park.
C. There is Harold Stone beside him and he is carrying his tools. I
guess he’s just completed his masterpiece. He certainly did a good job,
if I may judge by the looks of the structure.
B. He must have climbed to great heights before he got through
with this job. There is Benny Kramer touching up the rest of the cars.
I guess the job must be done and Dom is only making sure of himself.
Maybe that’s why he got such good marks in High.
Carly Carlberg and Johnny Phinney, together as usual, are the first
to dare the ride, and Bill Davis is already to start things humming as he
always used to, especially in the 6th period English Class with Miss Child.
C. Oh, the scene is fading. Do you think we shall see any more?
Pd love to, for I have missed my old friends since we parted ways in ’28.
B. But another scene is forming in this marvelous orb of light.
C. Oh yes, I hope . Yes, we shall see more. Why, it’s a Night
Club ! What an elaborate electric sign that is !
“NEW FRANCE’’
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
Why, Bernie, look we are going in! The hostess is at the door as we
enter. She is wearing a gorgeous creation in red velvet which coincides
with the sumptuous furnishings of the room. It’s Clara Gilman, and she
is still up to her old tricks. She is laughing and flirting, but now it must
be more profitable, — at least from a monetary point of view.
B. That orchestra has several peppy members whom we knew back in
Malden. That is Tommy O’Brien at the drums. He looks happy, doesn’t
he? I think this is what used to make him sleep in his French and English
classes. There’s Eddie Donley jazzing it up with his trombone. If he
keeps it up the way he’s doing, it will come apart as it did at the assembly
we had music week in Class Seven. ’Member?
C. The entertainment is about to begin. Isn’t this perfectly heaven¬
ly? I do hope we know some of the performers. Here is the Master of
Ceremonies, Sidney Shepard, and he says:
The management has brought to you, at a great expense,

B. He’s introducing some apparently well-known entertainers. Why,
it’s Elizabeth Kevorkian and her side kick, Marion MacCarthy. They seem
to be popular with the crowd, don’t they?
The scene has changed. I didn’t think they all would end up that way.
Why, we’re in Symphony Hall.
C. Yes, and isn’t that Joseph Zimmerman leading the orchestra?
Just think, he got the foundation of his training from Mr. Crowley. I
wonder if he knows about Joseph’s success?
B. Malden is certainly well represented in this wonderful Symphony
Oichestia. There s Pearl Edelston (She told me she was going to be a
history teacher!) fiddling away with Augusta Gasman, and Gudrun Ekman
as fii st \iolins. I see Edith Grossman at the organ. She has gained her
end. I hope that all the class is as fortunate. We’re shown the outside
now and there’s a drug store over there.

I wonder if he had to argue to get it as he did back in the English period.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
There’s a sign:
“TRY TRICKEY’S TRUE TASTED TAFFY”
Has it as many curves in it as he used to throw back at Pearl Street ?
C. That other sign says:
“We Sell Philip James’ Ice Cream Here
Eat James’ Ice Cream and You’ll Eat Nothing Else”
What is that new building across the street? It looks like an old
ladies’ home, but I don’t see any old ladies around, do you? I will read
that tablet over the door ; maybe that will help us to decide.
“Erected in memory of Napoleon III, my most beloved cat,
died in the Year of Our Lord nineteen hundred and thirty-nine.
Dedicated to aged and infirm cats of this country.”
Founded — 1940 . by Miss Sylvia Wolfe
Sylvia ivould do something like that. How well I remember the day poor
little Napoleon I died. She cried and cried and then had a very elaborate
funeral for him which all the neighboring cats attended.
Why, there’s Ly Barrows. Is he taking care of the grounds? Oh,
no. He seems to be the “big boss”. (He always thought he was !) He is
telling John Avjian what he wants done to the hedges. Helen Wolk is at
the desk taking care of all those who wish to leave their pets at the home.
The cat wagon has just driven up and Hubert Clements is driving it. So
he, too, has become a lover of felines. Well, there is no accounting for
tastes! Sarah Werlinsky and Ida Miller are taking the cats out and feed¬
ing them. Sylvia must be pretty well fixed financially to be able to pay all
these people.
Oh, a circus! Whose can it be? Baby, what a large one! That
pennant :
DANIELS, GOLDMAN & GOLDSTEIN SISTERS
“The Worlds Only Six Ring Circus”
That must be Marion Daniels, Frances Goldman, Naomi and Ruth Goldstein.
Well, Well, to think they have come to this! I wonder who keeps their
books for them ? If they do it themselves they must have a circus keeping
them in good form.
Bernie, watch those lions in the first ring. They certainly look wild.
That little girl is risking her life in that cage with them. She must have
had a lot of training.
B. Why, that’s Hazel Noyes, and I’ll tell the world she sure is fit
for that job. I know she had plenty of experience taming lions in
Maplewood.
C. Let’s watch the trapeze performers. I’d hate to risk my life
jumping around on those swinging sticks. They have more courage than I
have. They are the
“FLYING B’S”
Mildred Baum, Victor Baer, and the famous Norwegian, Rebecca Brodsky.
It’s the first time I’ve ever seen any of them up in the air.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
B. Look at that strong man over there. That looks like Eddie
Aloysius McCarthy. Say, our class seems to have produced quite a group
of circus performers, and yet, while I was there, it didn’t seem such a
circus, especially the last two years. Look at that sign

10c a Peek
He’s capitalizing the training he got as captain of our rifle team.
C. Aren’t those clowns comical? They sure have funny makeups
on, but nevertheless I think I can recognize Max Baden and Sticky Reed.
Sticky was the only boy I knew at school who showed no partiality to any
teacher — he raised Cain in every class.
Who are those men selling peanuts, popgum, chewing corn, and candy ?
B. That’s Shaughnessy and Weinstein. That’s the kind of a partner¬
ship that shows the old class spirit, am I right? Sure thing.
C. Oh, look at that little girl at the top of the high ladder. She is
going to dive! The drums are rolling. There she goes. What a beauti¬
ful dive! It’s Sara Belle Winer, the Girl Athlete of our class. Now I see
why she swam so diligently at M. H. S.; she was laying the foundation
for this career.
B. Huh! There’s Catherine Riley riding a bareback horse . . . The
picture moves outside . . . There’s a parade of women. That banner they’re
carrying — well, what do you know about that?
“WE DEMAND ABOLITION OF SPOONING ON BOSTON COMMON”
Their leaders look familiar. Yes, it’s Betty Lundin and Florence
Maclver. They sure are consistent in their desires. I wonder _ who’s
that little knot of young ladies? Why, I can make out Ruth Dowden,
Fizzle Moore, Margaret Moran, and Elsie Lounsbury. They all look de¬
termined to rid that classic spot of any such modern taint.
There is a guilty-looking couple; still they look happy together.
That’s Walter Emerson and Dot Dexter, “still hanging on.”
C. There is Florence Goodwin Carrying a Slogan
“SPOONING SHALL SUBSIDE”
and behind her is Anna Meelia, Lena Danca, and Elizabeth Fital. I wish
them success for their untiring efforts.
They are all stopping and gathering around a man on a Soap Box. He
looks familiar. Wait until he faces this way. Why it’s George Lodgen!
So this is what he is doing with his great oratorical powers. And there
is Louis Weiner on another box. They are still co-partners. Louis is
lecturing while George rests his irritated throat. I wonder if they, of
all people, can be accused of not practicing what they preach.
B. Let’s go down to the Frog Pond. That quartet over there looks
like a gathering of lawyers. I recognize Zeltzar, Staren, Stein, and
Rudofsky. They seem to be arguing over some point of jurisdiction.
They certainly do know how to use their hands !
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
C. The crowd is dispersing and the scene is travelling. The corner
of Tremont and Boylston Streets still looks the same, with a policeman, or
is it a policewoman, in the traffic stand. Well, if it isn’t Anna Selsky!
(This isn’t the first time I’ve seen her hold up traffic.) Who is that she
has signalled to? It’s Alec Marcus. He looks like prosperity itself in
that Roll's Royce. I don’t think he will get a tag, not if Anna recognizes
him.
B. We’re getting into the subway station at Boylston Street. That
“change here” girl looks familiar. That’s Frances Chapman and I do hope
she hasn’t changed quite so much in private life.
Well, we are on the train, so it seems, and did you notice Carroll
Libby driving this train coming into the station?
We are in Everett Station already. Nobody seems to be getting off.
I wonder where they think they are going? Look.
“Beginning June 1, trains shall go through to Malden Square.”
Signed :
A. Arthur Baker, Pres. Elevated R. R.
I can see the Pearl Street Grounds with the same old fence — but look !
— a new Clubhouse. See that tablet. It reads:
“Erected by the Field Corporation of Malden who realize the incon¬
venience and danger to health of waiting one half hour for a shower and
struggling another hour to find sufficient clothes in which to go home.”

C. Just look at Pleasant Street. It certainly has changed. The
Strand Theater is under new management. That sign says :
“UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT”
Sole Proprietor — Leonard Millen
Manager — George Waterman Ferguson
The feature this week is
BECKY HAWLEY
Starring As
“CHARLIE’S BABY”
She is supported by an all star cast including Gene Phyllides — the vamp,
Margaret Jack — the innocent country maiden, and Geraldine Heap — the
old maid aunt. They are also showing an Aileen Carroll Comedy, with
Pinky Hepburn and Mary Toy.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
B. There’s a new Cigar Store.
“Edward Macauley, Doctor of Nicotine”
and there’s
“The Coolest, Coziest Cream Parlor in Malden”
Ah, we have a peep in there, and I can see “Dimps” Manning, and over
there in the corner Marion Lear and Marjie Benson.
C. What a lovely new Gown Shoppe !
Proprietress — Christine Bates
Designer — Madame Eva Paul
Eva is carrying out the family tradition. Some people are never happy
unless they are in business.
Why, they have models of three types; the blond, the brunette, and
the stylish stout. Sophie Waron is the blonde; Marion Friedman, the
brunette; and Edith Deacon, the stylish stout.
B. Isn’t that a new Millinery store? It’s a beautiful place. I guess
you think it funny that I should notice a millinery shop, don’t you? I’ll
tell you the reason. It wasn’t the store, it was the sign.
Owner :
Evelyn Jackson
Assistants :
Mae Satenstein
Peggy Power
Harriet Hopkins
They must have a large trade to keep all four of them busy. There is
Doris Schniederman, Doris Johns, and Gertrude Drake waiting on some
customers. Our girls have clung together pretty well, and they are stay¬
ing close to home.
C. Oh, I say, we have a new department store, and what a beauty!
Isn’t this where the Mystic Theatre used to be?
BOOTHBY AND AMES
Malden’s Largest and Most Complete Department Store
As we enter, we come to the umbrella department. Lillian Trout is the
buyer. She always was expecting a rainy day. And over there in the
’kerchief department are Frances Baer and Anna Johnson. There is
Evelyn Baxter in the stocking department, and Shirley Slabinsky super¬
vising the sale of shoes. Here we are in the food section. Isn’t that
Charlotte Hurwitz selling “brownies?” I might say Brownies for the
Brownie. Lilly Schlager is selling lollypops. She must be in her glory.
Rebecca Wasserman would sell cakes, especially those with a lot of “goo”
on the top.
Here is the music department. Who is that girl playing the piano for
the customer? It’s Doris Sanford and the customer is Helen Foster.
She is looking for some music to sing at an assembly in her Alma Mater'.
The pupils will surely bless her, especially if a period is omitted.
Who are these three girls? One is wearing white and the other two
have the word “Information” on their arm. Well, well, the girl in white
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
is Viola Keddie and she is the store nurse, and the other girls are Mary
Spencer and Mary Lichenstein.
B. What’s that great building towering above the bank? It can’t
be a new High School! Well, this is indeed a pleasant surprise .... The
scene is moving into the school. Look at that bronze tablet.
“Mayor Janice May Copeland. Dedicated by: Arthur Daniel
Simonds, Jr., Aldermanic Committee, John Augustus Moller, Chm.,
Guy Harold Phillips, George Phyllides, Phyllis Rae Mayo, Eleanor
Mangene; School Committee, Mary Emma Mrose, Chm., Doris
Vezina and Helen Holzworth.
Architect; John Constantine Mazzone
This school was erected as a result of the untiring effort and
unsparing contribution of all those keen-sighted citizens of Malden
who realize that to accomplish the undertaking, the benefactors
must needs first be shown the worthiness of the benefitted.”
The scenes are gone. The light grows suddenly brighter and gradu¬
ally fades away as the moon is hidden behind a cloud A light breeze blows
and slowly and silently the canoe glides on over the tranquil pond. Noth¬
ing is left now but memories.

THE CLASS GIFT
We who have been in the high school for four years were quite sur¬
prised to realize that we had never observed certain bits of statuary in
the corridors and certain pictures on the walls. Having spent more time
here than the majority of our brethren we felt eminently qualified to be
authorities on what is and what is not in the school. Our vanity, then, was
touched when we found that there were things that very few, if any, had
ever observed. But in the chastisement of our minds we learned a lesson.
We learned that any more of such articles were unnecessary and useless.
There were others of us who suffered silently in Mr. Marsh’s solid
geometry class using tomato cans and croquet balls for models. Here was
something that everyone knew about. But in this instance the fact that
it was so well known condemned it. A feeling arose that there should be
better equipment in the school but that it was emphatically not the place of
the graduating classes to get it.
. What then to do with our money in purchasing a gift for the school ?
Brains were wracked, suggestions were made, meetings were held. At
last some one hit upon the brilliant idea of founding a scholarship fund.
Here at last was found a worthy object, a definite purpose that will work
by itself long after dust shall have covered any statuary or time wear away
any geometry models. And always some student will derive benefit there¬
from.
The Class of 28 B has shown unusual prudence and wisdom in pre¬
senting a gift to the school. Its choice, we believe, cannot be improved
upon. This, in fact, is the opinion held by the class advisers of our suc¬
cessors who have declaied that they also will endeavor to present to the
school upon the graduation of their classes, a fund of money for the
Alumni Scholarship Fund.
MARKS
In every high school there are to be found those few individuals who
have as a sole ambition, the desire to attain perfect marks in all subjects
and have accordingly abandoned everything else for this mistaken idea
,worthy 'deal but unfortunately is maltreated by certain persons
who think that it is the only worthy thing to be found in high school
The person who most often attains this ideal is known by the prevalent
term of ‘book-worm”, i. e., one who buries himself in books. There is
moie tiuth than poetry in this. The book-worm is not reaping the full ad-

THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
and seclusion? We maintain that a person is far better off to get average
grades, that is B’s or perhaps a C occasionally and take part in school
affairs, combining business with pleasure, as it were. But these clubs and
organizations, while affording pleasure, also will benefit the individual as
much and even more than devotion to studies alone. While striving for
marks don’t pass over the golden opportunities lying in your path. Go out
for some athletic team, join some organization or club, take part in your
school affairs and bear in mind always that to be successful in later life,
you must first know how to deal with your fellow-men and how to get
along with them.
ON
All things must ultimately come to an end and High school years are no
exception. In fact, now that we look back upon them they seem to have
passed all too rapidly. So much has been left undone that might have been
successfully carried out; there is still so much to which we feel ourselves
inevitably and unquestionably linked that at first it may be rather difficult
to cast aside old ties and to create new ones. It is imperative, however
that new relations, new friends, and new thoughts be created. But re¬
member that in all your life you will never find such true and sincere
friendships as those you made in high school; such honest and open deal¬
ings. Cherish these memories above all else for they will be worth much
to you in later years. Keep up the friendships you began here and they
will bring you untold joy. Remember also the lessons of honor and up¬
rightness that High school taught you and Carry on, twenty eight B, carry
on!
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
Sentimentalists
*
Louis Weiner
Once upon a time when I was young and the world was new, when
“seniortorial” dignity (if “senatorial”, why not “seniortorial” ?) had not yet
cast my face and emotions into a Sphinx-like mold, and when “senior¬
torial” occupations had not yet thinned my hair and wrinkled my fore¬
head, I was sentimental. I confess it with closed eyes and with a blush
— yea, sentimental. I had a lump in my throat, and a soft spot in my
heart for everything and everybody. Now, hardened as I am to worldly
deceit and wiles, I still have a little, microscopic, tender spot in my heart
for sentimentalists. I am ashamed of it, but my shame has no effect. It
is an eternal legacy from the time when I, too, was a sentimentalist.
What has effected this change? What has ruthlessly altered a sym¬
pathetic personality to a scornful, doubting one? It is the world. Cold,
aloof business men with sneering smiles; heartless teachers who assign
geometry lessons and familiar essays to be prepared on sunny afternoons
devoted to marbles in that ancient long ago; false best friends who laugh
at sincere endeavors and who play heartless practical jokes; giggling
girls in place of stately goddesses, — all these and many more have com¬
bined to drive romantic thoughts from my mind.
But perhaps even these causes would have proved insufficient if there
were thirty-six hours a day instead of twenty-four. Free from the neces¬
sity of having four individual and equally momentous tasks to perform at
one and the same time, with their attendant worries and requirements, I
might slip away somewhere to the Granada or the Strand, for example —
and in that hallowed spot I might revel in passionate partings, and tender
songs, and the hallowed love light of a woman’s eyes, or in the reunion of
bosom friends after a century or so parting, or in other sentimental drivel.
But afternoons occupied in completing physics experiments, or in earning
vile money, are not conductive to chimerical dreams — no, not even spring
afternoons, with college board examinations but a month or so away.
And now I find that I have made a psychological discovery. Only
children and old men are sentimental. The former look forward to what
they think they can be— a pirate captain, a policeman, a professor, a
piesident of the United States, a husband to Gloria Swanson or wife to
John Gilbert— ; they have no responsibility. Only illusions not yet become
disillusions. Life stretches before them, beguiling, promising. They have
everything to attain and nothing to lose. They have time for idleness and
time for achievement. They can afford to be sentimental.
Old men, on the other hand, look back to what might have been.
They see familiar names on gravestones; they recall broken hopes; their
disillusions are changing back to illusions. They live in the past, and they
make it a roseate series of images.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
But youth (after childhood) and middle age have no time for such
trash. They live in the glorious, immediate present. It is now or never
with them. No time to look backward. The future depends on the
present. Drive! Drive! Drive! Study! Study! “Procrastination is the
Sloth of Time!” “Save Now for a Comfortable Old Age!” No time for
reflection! No time for sentiment! They are in their prime; they have
work to perform, and to stop and rest and romanticize is to fall by the
wayside and fail.
But sometimes these, too, relax. Sometimes they reminisce — on re¬
visiting old scenes, at reunion banquets. However, a tinge of contempt
enters their thought. Why waste time in looking backward? They re¬
member old jokes with the grim shadow of the “Now” hovering over
them. Such slips are occasional.
At such times I want to make a confession. I am afraid I shall
always like and envy sentimentalists even though I sneer at their dreams.
They have created a beautiful world for themselves which we practical,
hard-headed ones cannot see.
The Success Family
Gudrun Ekman
Know the Success Family?
The father of Success is Work;
The mother of Success is Ambition;
The oldest son is Common Sense ;
Some of the other boys are Perseverance,
Honesty, Thoroughness, Foresight,
Enthusiasm, and Co-operation.
The oldest daughter is Character;
Some of her sisters are Cheerfulness,
Loyalty, Courtesy, Care, Economy,
Sincerity and Harmony.
Get well acquainted with the “old man”
and you will be able to get along pretty well with
the rest of the family.

Red Blood
Phyllis Mayo
The Grant College Seniors swayed and groaned in anxiety as they
waved their red flags at the Juniors. The Girls’ 100 yard dash was to be
the climax of the Field Day activities between the Juniors and the Seniors.
The Seniors had two more points to get in order to win. They were betting
hard, too, on that -run, for the Girls’ Track Team had become quite famous
in this co-ed college.
A signal was blown. They were six abreast. Off they flew. The white
letter of a Junior girl’s sweater came to the front as she began to take the
lead. Then, suddenly, a girl with a crimson ribbon bound about her coal-
black hair, dangerously outstripped her opponent and took the Seniors off
their feet in hilarious ecstacy. She made the ground. The tape was let
down and Mineola Jones, breathless, her black eyes sparkling with excite¬
ment, stood among her companions.
Don Wentworth broke through the crowd, saying to the champion,
“Never failed us yet, Min.” Then turning to the red flags, he led the
cheering :
Min-e-ha-ha-ha,
Min-e-ho-ho-ho,
Min-e-o-la-la,
A . Min
Rah, rah, rah-rah, rah, rah-rah, rah, rah.
“Min” smiled at this enthusiastic outburst and said teasingly,
“It’ll be all right as long as I’m not “Min Gump.”
She withdrew from the field soon and made her way to the Girls’ Club
House.
Gump was about as suitable a name for Mineola of the coal-black hair
as Jones was. Yet Jones was rather typical American and Mineola was
surely that. She was not, however, the modern American flapper blonde
with baby blue eyes. Her type was that of the American Indian. She
possessed Indian blood, red blood she called it, and she was more proud of
that than any amount of aristocratic, blue blood. Mineola’s skin was
deliciously tanned and she was as straight and lithe as an Indian runner.
She loved to run because it was an accomplishment of the Indians. Indian
folk-lore was her hobby and occasionally she submitted an original Indian
fairy tale to a children’s magazine.
“Min” donned a red sweater and navy blue skirt in the Club House
and ran back to her dormitory. There in her room she twirled about and
caught up an Indian doll which an old Indian guide had given her on one
of her trips to the West.
"Heapbi* race, Blue Moon. Someday I’ll run almost as well as you
used to before you got so old and feeble.” This last with a wicked grin.
en l ll become heap big Injun maid.” She laughed good-naturedly,
showing white teeth that gleamed conspicuously because of the darkness
ot her skm.
Yes, Blue Moon I should be scalped for being a silly, old goose — letting
my skm get so dark and keeping my hair so long, and even talking silly
talk to a bunch of cloth Still I love your silly old face and I’ll stick to
my Indian blood, my red blood.”
If the Seniors who had cheered Mineola on to victory that afternoon
could have seen her m this condition they would have told her to dry up!
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
Mineola kept her hobby to herself and was, consequently, deemed a good
sport and a keen runner and even the “best dancer.”
Mineola picked up a scrap book and began to write. During her col¬
lege course she had been engaged in writing a novel. Through her constant
research and sympathetic talks with the Indian guide, Mineola had set out
to uphold the red men, for she knew how all the history books had under¬
estimated them.
Mineola, in spite of her queer hobby, liked most of the college boys
she met. And yet roadster sheiks did not particularly appeal to this young
maid. She even decried an ideal of the beautiful prince on a pure, white
steed. Instead, she vividly pictured a tall, black-haired, dark-complexioned
fellow with blue eyes. In other words, she wanted one with Indian blood
in his veins, a red blooded American. And as she never hoped to meet
such a being she consoled herself with other things, occasionally a blonde
but she endured him with cold disdain.
The evening of the race a grand pow-wow was to be given to the win¬
ning class. It was to be in the form of a masquerade so the war couldn’t
continue between the Juniors and the Seniors. Mineola was to be the
guest of honor for her run had set the fate of the Seniors.
As Mineola entered the gym her heart gave a leap of joy. The room
had been converted into autumnal woods with startling splashes of the fall
orange and red. A huge Indian summer moon, illuminated by electric
bulbs, the only bright light in the scene, acted as a background for the
orchestra, who were garbed as Injun braves. Mineola noted, with pleasure,
several cute tepees hidden away in the corners, and canoes which were
cleverly converted into resting places for tete-e-tetes. Mineola smiled to
herself as she thought perhaps the Min-e-ha-ha-ha cheer had prompted
the decorations.
The guest of honor was dressed as Pocohontas. With her long tresses
braided into two heavy strands and her costume heavily beaded and deco¬
rated with Indian symbols. The ancient Indian maiden surely lived again
in the modern Indian maid.
As soon as she appeared a masked group came to her side and escorted
her to a seat of honor. The Junior President duly crowned her with a
brightly colored Indian head-gear. After the coronation, the masquerade
began in full swing.
The evening’s fun had been progressing for about an hour when
Mineola found herself dancing with a blonde. Her partner noted her high
color, her shining, black eyes and wished most sincerely that this dark,
fascinating girl would pay more attention to the blondes.
Her dance was interrupted when two masculine figures approached.
She recognized “Don” Wentworth’s voice as he said,
“Pocohontas, I want you to meet John Smith.”
They all laughed at the linking up of the two names. John Smith
doffed his John Smith hat in recognition of the introduction and Mineola’s
heart skipped a beat as she noticed that his hair was divinely black. When
they began to dance, she made minute calculations of his tanned skin,
(probably he had been a life guard during the summer), and his blue eyes
that gleamed mysteriously behind his mask.
“Perhaps you’ll laugh,” said the stranger, “but my name is really John
Smith.”
“Is it?” she said, unexpectedly serious. “I like the name for its as¬
sociation with the Indians. You see I’m proud of my colors,” and she
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
touched her dress, “for I have some Indian blood in my veins, and I’m
mighty proud of it.”
She stopped suddenly for she knew she had betrayed her secret and
probably to an unsympathetic listener.
“You have Indian blood?” he asked eagerly. “I’ll shake hands on
that, Miss Pocohontas. I also have inherited red blood and I consider it
a prize inheritance. I wondered if that Indian symbol of a firefly on your
dress was your own or just a fictitious one.”
Her eyes shone at this reassurance. “Now I can tell you about the
firefly with a little more ease,” she said shyly looking again at his dark
skin. “It is the symbol that my great, great grandmother wore on her
native dress. Friendship and faithfulness are woven into this Indian sign
and the red firefly on the dark background represents a human lighting
up the world by his good deeds. Her name was Meantiwona and she
married a white man by the name of Jones, whom she rescued and nursed
back to life during the French and Indian War. You see she was rather
a firefly in the world of my parental ancestor.”
Mr. John Smith had been closely watching the girl’s animated face as
she told the lovely little story of her ancestor. He began,
“My story isn’t as interesting as yours, Miss-er,” .
enough, I guess. Jones and Smith”, she formed the words, “they are
typical American names, aren’t they?”
“Yes,” he answered with a twinkle in his eye, “only I don’t find any
solace in the name of Smith when my friends become enraged looking
through the John Smiths in the phone book.”
The cymbal gave an abrupt crash and the dancers stopped. The room
began to buzz with happy conversation.
Shall we adjourn to the great open spaces?” her escort mimicked
boyishly.
“Yes, John Smith,” she replied and took his arm.
There walking on the campus, Mineola learned he was a Forest Ranger
who had been authorized by the government to choose two college students,
who were desirous of practical experience in forestry.
“But”, he continued, “I have spent a great deal of my spare time in
writing, quite a bit on the Indian question.”
“That is another point of interest, Mr. Smith, for I’m engaged in
writing a novel on that subject. I shall attempt to publish it when I
graduate and continue my research work.”
“Perhaps we could help each other,” he said gently.
With this last remark he unmasked and Mineola looked into the bluest
eyes she had evei seen. His dark skin glowed and his black hair glistened
but not with Slickum.
She did not want him to become sentimental then, so she iust said
“That will be great,” but her heart sang, “Red Blood.”
They went back to the gym and became so engrossed with each other
that they remained partners for the rest of the evening.
„„ ^he1?, JohlJ Smith left Mineola at her dormitory the two did not sav
Goodbye ’, just “Good evening.”
A yeai later two people sat before the fire in a large cabin in Colorado
on a Forest Range, with the Indian doll between them. Two dark heads
were bent over a book which had as its title “Red Blood” by Mr and Mrs
John Smith.

Beauty

When silver-speared falls the rain,
Wind ripples fields of golden grain,
And snow-spirits charge the window pane,
I can see their beauty.
When flowers give forth their perfume,
Sunlight gilds an old-fashioned room,
And fireflies put to rout the gloom,
Don’t you see their beauty ?
When summer spreads its magic dyes,
A pool reflects the star-filled skies,
And I gaze and gaze and then I sigh,
Asking do you see beauty?

THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
THE HONOR SOCIETY
The John W. Hutchins Chapter of the National Honor Society has
successfully completed its first year.
Although it is yet so young its influence is being widely felt through¬
out the school. It is a definite goal to strive for. It is something every¬
one aims at. And well they may, for it is certainly a goal worth reaching.
Its four requirements, Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service,
are those most important to any person in his life.
We all know that without character man can be nothing. He can be
of no value either to himself or to the rest of the world if he lacks this
requisite. It is the ability to lead that advances some men higher in the
world than others. Leadership is encouraged to bring out the quality that
is a natural gift but must be developed in order to be useful.
Scholarship is the first requirement. This Society helps to bring
better results in this line. It gives an incentive other than marks to work
for. It is a reward for patient toil. Service, something which much too
often, goes without its due reward, is the final necessity. This organiza¬
tion gives, although it may be long after the service has been rendered, both
an incentive and a reward for the patient toilers.
May success follow it for years and years to come, and may we wish
those departing members as much success in the outer world as they have
achieved in their little school world.
The Class of 1928-B had a roll-call of nine. They have recently organ¬
ized and have elected for their officers : president, George Lodgen ; secretary,
Charlotte Solomont; treasurer, Louis Weiner.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
THE BLUE AND GOLD
The Blue and Gold is an unusual production. Each number is a mas¬
terpiece of current literature, containing material of interest to our
“students” and our pupils alike. There are editorials for the intellectual,
news for the co-eds, jokes for those who appreciate genuine humor, ro¬
mance for the lackadaisical, cartoons for men of few words, poems for the
poetical and literary, and sport writeups to interest every one among us
If there is anyone who does not believe the Blue and Gold, to be an un¬
usual production, let him investigate the processes employed to provide for
its weekly publication. For instance, let him visit the staff on a Tuesday
evening. Theie he will see proof-readers diligent in their search for errors.
There are some who sit in silent contemplation, as though in expectation
of some divine inspiration, which may produce a unique and remarkable
headline. There are others who cut and paste and contemplate, and these
the visitor would find, are “making up the paper.” There are countless
other minute operations which require only the intelligent explanation of
any staff member, to make them almost clear to the average student
Judging from the comments we have received, both favorable and un¬
favorable, we are certain that the Blue and Gold is being more widelv
read than ever before.
At any rate, the Blue and Gold has just completed one of the most
successful years of its existence. Its subscriptions have exceeded anv
number ever attained before, and with the kind of work the staff even now
are showing, the paper will always be as good (and on account of the old
saying, There is always room for improvement”,) even better than it is
today.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
COG
Still another year of achievement has passed in the history of the
Cognoscendi Causa Society. The officers of this semester, who have done
so much to advance the standard of “Cog”, are as follows: President, Isa-
dore Rosenblatt; Vice-President, Myer Rosenzweig; Secretary, John Carr;
Treasurer, Bernard Cushman; Publicity Manager, Henry Greenberg; Exec¬
utive Board, George Lodgen, Louis Weiner, and Isaac Fishman.
Despite the fact that it is one of the younger societies in the school,
Cog has accomplished a great deal during its short existence. It con¬
ducts one of the biggest events of the school year, the now famous Cog
Prize Speaking Contest. The two boy winners are sent to Colby to com¬
pete in the speaking contest there, and for the past three years, they have
brought the fourth, third, and second prizes back to Malden. Since the
primary purpose of Cog is to encourage and further the forensic arts, it has
instituted the custom of presenting the Orator of the graduating class with
a silver cup as a token of his ability.
Another stepping-stone in the progress of this society was the forma¬
tion of the Triangular Debating League, sponsored by Cog. This league
consists of Cog, Lit, and Usona; and Cog, the winner of the first debate
with Usona, was to hold a debate with Lit. One unique feature of these
debates is the admission of the public, free of charge.
Just as many other societies have met their downfall because of a lack
of interest and entertainment at the meetings, just so will Cog always con¬
tinue upward in its progress because of its interesting meetings and fine
programs. This semester alone has seen Judge Davis, Mr. Hall and Mr.
Smith of the faculty, as speakers at Cog meetings; a debate between a
member of the Harvard Debating Team and a member of the Tech De¬
bating Team; and, above all, a fine address by Principal Galvin of the
Lincoln Junior High School, who was so delighted by the Cog meeting that
he invited the society to give one before an assembly of his school. Is it
small wonder that so many boys are becoming members of Cog every
semester and are fitting themselves for the work which will be theirs to
carry on when the older members have left ?
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
LIT
The Malden High School Literary Society has enjoyed one of the most
active and profitable administrations this semester of many in past years.
This success has been a much wanted liniment for a society which the
present student body would erroneously deem too “serious” in its ideals.
Yet the successful fulfillment of these ideals has been an admirable step
forward for all those who are so proud to say, “I’m a Lit man.”
The administration, under the leadership of Donald Davis, the presi¬
dent of Lit, has many accomplishments to its credit. The Society has held
many interesting and worthwhile meetings. Lit has effaced all debts
inclined during the past administrations. A debating team was formed
and one of the best plays in years was presented by the active members.
And last — and best — was the successful publication of the Oracle in spite
of much disagreeable opposition. This magazine received commendation
from scores of past members, prominent citizens, and the five hundred
readers of its pages.
The successful officers of the past administration were as follows:
Donald Davis, president; Lloyd Matson, vice-president; John Rood, sec¬
retary; Elton Merritt, treasurer; James Small, deputy; Edwin Paine
publicity manager; Frank MacDonald and Charles MacNeil, Executive
Council.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
USONA
The Usona Society is leading a most successful fiftieth administration
with the following officers: President, Marjorie Holmes; Vice-Pres¬
ident, Dorothy Dexter ; Secretary, Eleanor Hirtle ; Treasurer, Muriel
Dineen; Publicity Manager, Ruth Knowlton; Deputy, Elizabeth Smith;
Keeper of the Bulletin, Avanelle Proctor; Board of Directors, Barbara
De Wolf, Marjorie Hill, Ruth Potter, Janice Copeland.
At the first meeting of this semester Miss Pauline Watts gave a most
interesting lecture on her travels in England and Scotland. Miss Martha
Abbott delighted the society with the reading of “‘The Swan” by Franz
Mona at one meeting. There have also been short stories, some being
original ones.
The Usona Society was defeated in the first tri-league debate, which
was with the Cognoscendi Causa Society. The question was “Resolved:
that capital punishment should be abolished.” Usona upheld the negative
side of the question. Elizabeth Plummer, a Usona member, was chosen
best speaker, while the other speakers were Dorothy Moses and Barbara
De Wolf.
Since this is the fiftieth administration Usona is planning to have a
celebration.
The membership of the society has been greatly enlarged this semes¬
ter, and every Usona girl whether new or old considers it the greatest of
honors to be a member of this society.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
THE MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH CLUB
The Malden High School English Club is as yet a very young society.
Plans, however, are well under way for a celebration meeting in honor of
its third anniversary.
When this annual meeting is over, plans will be immediately started
for the play which the Club presents each year, so that it may be given
in the early fall.
This year will go down in the history of this society, and also of the
school, as the initial one of the annual essay contest conducted by the
English Club. The success of this is, of course, due to the splendid co¬
operation of the teachers, and the interest of the pupils.
The winners this year, selected from classes 5, 6, 7, and 8, were
William Holden of class seven, and Ralph Christiansen of class five.
There will be such a contest held every year and we only hope that
they will meet with similar success.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
LE CERCLE FRANCAIS
“Le Cercle Francais” has enjoyed a most successful semester under
the direction of Misses Cooper and Berton.
The following officers have also contributed to the success of the
semester — George Phyllides, president; Henry Greenberg, vice-president;
Sarah Winer, secretary; Philip Gliserman, treasurer; Isadore Rosenblatt,
publicity manager.
A prize is to be awarded to the person who has the best work in
French throughout his high school course. This prize is to be presented
at the Class Day exercises.
The club is to hold a meeting in the near future, and we feel sure that
it will be as successful as those of the past have been in promoting the
interest in French.

MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL BAND

THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL BAND
In common with the various activities of the school, the band will
soon close its fourth season. This has been an active period, marked by
ever-increasing interest in the organization and decided progress.
Soon after the band began work for the year, it accepted the invitation
to play at the Brockton Fair. Soon after this, the foot-ball games began
and it was a very busy season until Thanksgiving.
With the graduation in February, the band lost several important play¬
ers but with its usual elasticity recovered, and demonstrated its musical
ability at a very successful concert. The band at this concert was praised
by many people of musical ability. A short time later, it had the opportun¬
ity of attending the Americanization Graduation. With the coming of the
spring the active outdoor service started. On the first Sunday of Boys’
Week, the band gave a successful concert before the Morse Class at the
Parish House. At this concert their work was lauded by Gov. Fuller. The
following day, Monday, they played at the Belmont School for the Parent-
Teachers Association of that school. Then came the Boys’ Week Parade,
a remarkable event for the band, because at this time, the members re¬
ceived new caps, the long hoped for fore-runners of an improved uniform.
At the invitation of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the band helped them
in their celebration of Memorial Day. This brought our season to a suc¬
cessful close for outdoor and indoor work.
In the June graduation of 1928 class, the band loses several of its best
players. Cedric Donley and Leonard Millen, our star trombonists, Joseph
Zimmerman our first baritone player, and Jack Phinney our tuba player.
The members of the band wish these members a very successful future
in whatever life they enter.

BOYS’ GLEE CLUB
The Boys’ Glee Club of Malden High is a comparatively old organiza¬
tion. This semester the club had the largest membership in its history.
The purpose of the club is to furnish entertainment for its members
and to train them musically. The latter purpose is well accomplished
under the able tutilage of Miss Harriette M. Perkins.
The officers for the semester were as follows: Arthur Simonds, Jr.,
President; Norman Greene, Vice-President; Fred Westcott, Secretary;
and Bernard Graves, Treasurer.
This year the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs combined to present a
faculty program before the students, which was so much enjoyed by every
one present that it was decided to conduct one every semester.
Next year the club may enter the inter-State Glee Club Conclave at
which event we wish them every possible success.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB
The Girls’ Glee Club has been a splendid success this year. What
would be more natural under the skilled leadership of our instructor, Miss
Perkins ?
The increase in membership has been quite noticeable, and has mount¬
ed up until now the total is over thirty.
The girls presented a fine program at the Home for Aged Folks twice
during this semester. They were very much appreciated, and enjoyed
doing it, of course, as every one likes to bring joy to those who find it hard
to see a great deal of the finer things of life.
The Club took part in the “Memorial Day” program, and sang an in¬
spiring patriotic number entitled, “March, Son of the Flag”.
Several of the girls ushered at the “Joan of Arc Cantata” presented by
the Chorus.
The officers for this year were: President, Helen Foster; Vice Presi¬
dent, Mildred Westcott; Secretary, Winifred Rolfe; Treasurer, Mary
Mrose; Librarian, Miriam Shackford; Entertainment, Jeannette Klickstein;
Bulletin, Marion Gillis; Voice, Shirley Hodge; Pianist, Ruth Elliott; Pub¬
licity Manager, Ruth Winched .
Much credit is due Ruth Elliott for her help. She has been to every
rehearsal, and has been willing to play as often, and to repeat as often, as
has been necessary.

THE SARGENT ART CLUB
The Saigent Art Club was introduced into the school just three
semesters ago for the purpose of furthering the interests of the art students
and those who are interested in art. After much thought and consideration
the club finally chose the title of the Sargent Art Club, in memory of John
Singer Sargent, America’s greatest portrait painter. The club has been
given the privilege of using the spare room on the fourth floor, better
known as the studio , in which to hold their meetings every Tuesday
afternoon. These weekly meetings have been very interesting to all who
attended.
. The work which has been done during this last semester has been
divided under two specific headings, class work and individual work That
work taken in class was mostly sketching, while the work taken individual¬
ly was more varied, such as painting scarfs and handkerchiefs, leather
pocketbooks, pen and ink sketchings, charcoal drawings, and water color
paintings. Most of the attempts have been very successful. The members
attended various art exhibits both in Malden and Boston and now, during
is last semester, the art department of the school has put on an exhibition
The officers of the third administration are as follows: Abraham
Kaufman, President; Marjorie Benson, Secretary; Lena Danca, Treasurer-
TtwT Fofer’ Publlclty Manager. Although this club is but a young
club m the school it has received a good start and will continue to grow as
time goes on. 6
Miss Lyon is the honorary member and faithful adviser of the club.

Sororities anil fraternities
ECCE SIGNUM
The Astria Chapter of Ecce
Signum, although one of the
younger sororities, has grown
rapidly, and despite its short ex¬
istence, claims its place because
of its fine, sincere, sportsmanlike
group of girls.
Through the companionship of
Miss Dyer and Miss Rustin, ma¬
trons of the sorority, the mem¬
bers are advised and aided in
their work.
The annual banquet and dance,
which was held March 31, in the
ballroom of the University Club,
played a leading role in the life
of each girl. Dances, bridge par¬
ties, and other social affairs are
held frequently throughout the
year. A part of these proceeds
are used for charity, such as
Thanksgiving and Christmas of¬
ferings, and Red Cross Relief.
It is a recognized fact that if
Ecce Signum attempts anything
it always succeeds, owing to the
wonderful cooperation of its
members and its alumnae, the
latter attending the meetings
with the same enthusiasm as the
high school group.
The Ecce Signum Sorority
wishes the very best of luck to
the members of the class of 1928-
B.
KAI LUN
One of the most successful se¬
mesters in the history of the Kai
Lun Sorority has just drawn to
ci cloSG.
The affair of this period was
a formal dance, attended by up¬
wards of seventy-five couples,
held, in conjunction with the
Beta Chapter at Revere, at the
Copley Plaza Hotel. Kai Lun
is affiliated with the Panadelphic
Council which does extensive
charity work, besides engaging
in social undertakings.
Kai Lun extends its most sin¬
cere wishes that graduates of
the Class of 1928-B may meet
with all success in the future.
KAPPA PHI
Kappa Phi has its twenty-
sixth anniversary this year. It
has had a prosperous year with
a banquet last fall and several
bridges this spring. It has com¬
bined with the sororities En Ka,
Ecce Signum, and Pi Phi in the
annual “Inter-Sorority Carni¬
val”. The work of Kappa Phi
does not stop with the “Inter-
Sorority”, however, but tends to
make the year a fine one from
beginning to end.
Kappa Phi greatly approves
the bond of friendship between
the sororities, which is promoted
by the combination dance. The
friendship merely of girls in
your own sorority is a foolish
mistake.
Best wishes Kappa Phi ex¬
tends with best of luck in the
future to the class of 1928-B.
Bon voyage !
PHI DELTA PHI
Alpha Chapter of Phi Delta
Phi Sorority has closed its fifth
season with both praiseworthy
and phenomenal events. The
sorority has retained the custom
of setting aside the second week
in May as its anniversary week,
and needless to say, the week of
its fifth anniversary was one
which could hardly be surpassed.
As a finale to its fifth season,
Phi Delta Phi held an attractive
dinner dance in the Egyptian
room of the Brunswick.
Although Phi Delta Phi does
not admit many new members
during the year, its ideals and
expectations are realized through
the fortunate few who are taken
in bi-annually.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
Phi Delta Phi wishes both her
graduates and members of class
1928 B the acme of success.
SIGMA PHI
The Alpha Chapter of the Sig¬
ma Phi Sorority will celebrate
its seventh birthday in June.
During those years, several
dances have been given by the
sorority, all of which have been
very successful.
Its work has not been purely
social either, as it has organized
two other chapters, besides tak¬
ing an active part in bowling and
debating.
The aim of Sigma Phi is to
promote a true and everlasting
friendship among all of its mem¬
bers, who wish the graduating
class a prosperous and happy
future.
ALPHA DELTA SIGMA
Alpha Delta Sigma has just
completed its twenty-first and
most successful year in the Mal¬
den High School.
During the past semester A.
D. S. has been preeminent in
the outside curricula activities
of the school. We have the hon¬
or of having a member of the
John W. Hutchins chapter of the
National Honor Society in the
fraternity.
During the past year A. D. S.
had the singular honor of having
seven varsity letters awarded to
its members.
On April seventeenth we held
our annual dance at the High¬
land Club, a colorful and enjoy¬
able affair. In June we held
our outing and a little later, our
annual banquet. Tau chapter
will send a representative to the
thirty-eighth convention of Al¬
pha Delta Sigma to be held in
August at New Britain, Connec¬
ticut.
In closing, the brotherhood
wishes the class of 1928-B a
most prosperous and happy fu¬
ture.
ALPHA MU
Alpha Mu has completed a
very successful year, both fra¬
ternally and socially. The mem¬
bership has been greatly in¬
creased, and the bond of friend¬
ship has been strengthened.
Two chapters have been added
to the roll, one in Rindge Tech
and one in Everett. A chapter is
in the process of formation at
Salem.
The social season has also been
very successful. On December
29, Malden Chapter ran a Dance
at Oak Manor. Then, on the 22nd
of February, the annual dance
with Beta Chapter was held at
Somerville. Shortly after school
closed, the annual outing was
held.
The three men in the gradua¬
ting class who wear the Alpha
Mu shield are all prominent
members of the class. George
Lodgen is president of the class,
Editor-in-chief of the year book,
and has been Editor-in-chief of
the Blue and Gold.
Louis Weiner has been presi¬
dent of Cog, business manager
of the year book, salutatorian of
the class.
Reuben Weiner has been prom¬
inent in track and football.
Alpha Mu wishes the class of
’28-B the best of luck and suc¬
cess in whatever they may
undertake.
ALPHA ZETA PI
Alpha Zeta Pi fraternity pro¬
motes mutual fellowship among
its members, as well as a spirit
of friendliness, and establishes a
strong bond that lingers
throughout life. It strives to
help its members to develop into
better and more useful men.
Sportmanship is one of the i-
deals of Alpha Zeta Pi. This is
well shown by the number of
Alpha Zeta Pi members promi¬
nent in athletics. We have also,
to the best of our ability, main-
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
tained a high standard o f
scholarship. To our credit, it
may be further said, that we
have created that true fraternal
spirit, brotherly companionship,
and love, which is the peak of
endeavor among all fraternities.
Alpha Zeta Pi wishes the class
of 1928-B the best of luck after
it leaves M. H. S.
OMICRON DELTA
The Alpha Chapter of Omi-
cron Delta, one of the oldest fra¬
ternities of the school, has just
completed another successful
year of its already long exis¬
tence.
Omicron Delta was represent¬
ed on the diamond by Charles
Boehm whose all around playing
has helped strengthen the team.
In closing, Omicron Delta
wishes to express its earnest
hope that all possible success will
follow each member of the class
of 1928-B in their every venture
in the outside world.
UPSILON DELTA
The Upsilon Delta Fraternity,
after having had a most success¬
ful year is about to engage in
another.
In the past semester the fra¬
ternity was most active, hold¬
ing a gala dance at the Melrose
Highlands Club in November,
the greatest success yet attained,
running a concert by the Co¬
lonial entertainers at the High
School, holding an annual ban¬
quet at the Malden Club in Feb¬
ruary, and organizing a bowling
and a hockey team — the former
of which met with brilliant suc¬
cess. There are also plans
formed for an annual outing in
June which promises to be most
successful.
The fraternity is best repre¬
sented by our “Boy Mayor” or
Chas. S. J. MacNeil, Jr. who
proved most brilliant and cap¬
able on the Blue and Gold Staff.
He is backed by a legislature of
wisdom, of which George Trick-
ey is Alderman of Ward 5.
In the football field Bill Ryan
and George Trickey were promi¬
nent while George also played
from the mound on the diamond.
As mermen Chas. MacNeil and
Warren Thackeray both shine,
Warren being the holder of the
“Y” record.
The Fraternity sincerely wish¬
es the Class of 1928 B the best
of luck and success in school and
out.
KAPPA ALPHA PI
The Gamma Phi Chapter
has just completed a most suc¬
cessful and prosperous year,
both socially and scholastically.
The Malden Chapter, founded
eleven years ago by a group of
earnest boys with high ideals,
has increased and prospered
tremendously in this short time
due to the co-operation, zeal, and
friendly spirit of its members.
This past year Kappa Alpha
Pi has conducted two successful
dances, both at the Malden Club.
It also co-operated this spring
with the Gamma Alpha Chapter
of Somerville in staging a most
successful musical show and re¬
vue. The fraternity closed its
year socially with the annual
banquet at Sauntaug in June.
The fraternity also plans to send
two members to the national
conclave at Portland, Oregon
this summer.
Scholastically, Kappa Alpha
Pi may well be proud. Many of
its members are prominent in
school affairs and other organi¬
zations, while no less than ten of
its active members were on var¬
sity teams this past year.. Kappa
Alpha Pi maintains a high de¬
gree of scholarship and tries at
all times to co-operate with the
high school and the students.

THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
FOOTBALL
On August 30, 1927, Coach Batchelder began his football practice with
a squad of twenty-five boys, two of whom were veterans. Although little
was expected from such a group of inexperienced men, Coach “Batch”
developed a team that succeeded in defeating Fitchburg, contender for the
state title, Haverhill, always a strong team, and in tying its old rival
Medford. This is a record, considering the circumstances, to be proud of,
and it was only the spirit of the 1927 team that enabled it to accomplish
what it did. In reference to the squad Coach Batchelder says, “The 1927
squad has been the most unified and best spirited of any squad I have ever
coached and has been led by a splendid captain, Charles 0. Wettergreen.”
Our captain explains, “The record of the 1927 team will not always be
remembered but its spirit will never be forgotten.”
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
BASEBALL
- The season started with Captain Kerwin, De Perrio, O’Leary, Boehm,
and Trickey of last year, as a nucleus for a team. Last year’s second team
contributed Joe Freshman and Paul Keenan, and practically all the re¬
maining members of the team were recruited from the lower classes.
Battery weakness has been responsible for loss of some games and in¬
ability to hit when hits were needed accounted for close defeats in other
instances. Defensively there has been little to criticize.
The season has developed into a building program for the future. At
least eight players have had experience this year that will be available for
two years to come. Five more will return another year. The season has
been an example of the age-old adage that there is little difference be¬
tween success and failure in baseball.
There has been a fine spirit among the boys and every effort has
been put forth to win games, and our opponents have been called upon to
put their best team on the field without exception. For a schoolboy team,
the games played have been creditable and the effort put forth, worthy of
more reward than will be given.

BOYS’ TENNIS
This year, on account of the growing interest in tennis, a league has
been formed consisting of the schools of greater Boston. The Blue and
Gold representatives entered this league and considering the few who
came out for the team they have been fairly successful.
The team practices almost every afternoon on the Woodland tennis
courts, which the school hires. The ranking players this year are Green¬
berg, James, Wells (captain), Shannon, Stacy. Alternates; Greene, Carr,
and Hogg.
BOYS’ BASKETBALL
At last the important Western sport has been started in Malden High.
About sixty fellows responded to Coach Goodreau’s call, and out of this
group were selected two smaller ones of twelve each. With these twenty-
four men the coach attempted the impossible. Judging by the record of
victories and defeats, it would seem that the Blue and Gold had had an
unsuccessful season; instead Coach Goodreau has been laying the founda¬
tion and developing the material for a fine team next season. It is well to
remember in connection with the record of the 1928 Basketball team that
“Rome was not built in a day!”
BOYS’ SWIMMING
On November 15, 1927, forty three candidates responded to Captain
Earl Cefrey’s call for mermen. On March 10, 1928, when the season closed,
one third of this number remained and ten of these had won letters.
The team had a very successful season winning the major portion of
their meets. Several outside contests were held, one at Phillips Exeter
Academy, New Hampshire, another at Gardner, Massachusetts, and a num¬
ber at Boston.
Since only two members of the 1928 team will be graduated from the
High School in June, it is expected that the 1929 team will certainly be
successful in its schedule.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
TRACK
A group of forty boys reported at the Pearl Street Stadium for the
outdoor track season of 1928. But hard work and strenuous practice soon
caused about half of these to drop out. However, this group of twenty
faithful boys went through a season that would be a credit to any school
considering the number of years Malden has participated in track/
The first meet at Melrose fell to Malden, much to the surprise of all
track followers. Concord has ever proved too strong in a duel meet
although Malden far outclassed her in the State Meet. Next, Malden
conquered Everett, an old foe, but both Medford and Quincy proved their
superiority in the next two meets.
In the previous indoor season the average was better, Malden winning
thiee out of five meets, Medford and Noble and Greenough being the only
victors. The latter meet was not decided until the last event.
Malden has only been in track a few seasons, and for that time has
made a worthy showing in the State Meets. In 1927 we took eighth place
in Class B but this year we took second, Capt. Gliserman being the high
point scorer. Concord, Quincy, Lexington, and Haverhill all competed in
class B.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
THE MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL RIFLE CLUB
Last June the Rifle Club elected the following officers for the year
1927-1928: George Reardon, President; Mr. Taylor, Secretary-Treasurer;
David Storey, Range Officer. This spring Reardon was further honored
by being elected captain of the Rifle Team.
The first defeat in the Rifle Club’s history of two years came April 25,
when the Wentworth Institute Team vanquished our representatives by 15
points.
In the bi-monthly matches of the N. R. A., with which Malden High is
affiliated, our team has usually been among the leaders of class “B” and a
few times it has even been up among the leaders of class “A”.
The Club did very little outdoor shooting last year and had no outdoor
matches. But this year it hopes to hold several meets and incidently annex
a few outdoor matches as it is in the habit of doing indoors.
Several new members of the Rifle Club have shown great promise of
becoming distinguished riflemen before they leave High School. Some of
the boys who are likely to earn the highest honor which the N. R. A. can
confer are Richard George Clements, Harrison Crane, and Earl Dickie.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL
The basketball season of 1928 has been one of the most successful
years for Malden High. The team was ably managed by Pauline Thomp¬
son. Under the leadership of Captain Betty Alexander, our girls won
every game of the season with the exception of two. In these two games,
both of which were played away from home, Reading and Somerville were
the victors.
The outstanding games of the season were those with Swampscott.
In both the game played in their gym and the return game in our gym,
Malden finished just two points in the lead. The score speaks for itself.
Swampscott was a team which had been defeated once in five years — until
it met Malden.
There is a fine spirit of cooperation among the girls in our gym. The
coach, Mrs. Tyack, and our own Miss Watkins have done excellent work with
the girls, and the team is expected to do exceptionally well next season.
GIRLS’ SWIMMING
The Girls’ Swimming Team of 1928 is under the direction of Miss
Laura Varnum of the Faculty and is coached by Miss Millard of the Boston
School of Physical Education. The captain is Evelyn Anderson, and
manager is Marjorie Hill. Practice is held every Thursday afternoon at
the Y. M. C. A. The first meet was held with Brookline and, unfortunately,
it was a loss for Malden. The girls have worked very faithfully and may
attribute this loss to the fact that it was their first meet. We who are
leaving M. H. S. wish the future swimming teams of Malden High great
success in their coming seasons.
GIRLS’ BOWLING
The Girls’ Bowling Team of 1928 has completed a very successful
season. Betty Alexander of athletic fame, was the captain of the team.
The manager, Lovisa Weeks, was extremely successful in obtaining matches
with some of the fraternities of Malden High and the girls proved them¬
selves able rivals. The fraternities with which the girls had the pleasure
of competing were Gamma Sigma, Alpha Mu, and Upsilon Delta. Matches
were also held with the De Molay Seconds, the Sabean Class, Burdett Col¬
lege, and Woodward Institute.
The girls appreciate the aid of Miss Whittum, who has kindly given
up much of her time to them and through whose efforts interest in bowling
is increasing. We wish Captain Betty Alexander and her team great suc¬
cess.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
GIRLS’ TENNIS TEAM
The tennis team of 1928, has completed a successful season. The
team was under the direction of Miss Whittum of the faculty and under the
management of Natalie Bicknell. Betty Alexander was elected captain for

BOYS’ WEEK
For the past few years the Rotary Club of Malden has been conducting
a “Boys’ Week” during which every phase of interest in a young man’s life
is thoroughly taken up and put before him in an attractive way. Sunday
of the week is “Boys’ day in religion” ; Monday is “Boys’ night at home” ;
Tuesday is “Boys’ day in government”; Wednesday, “Boys’ day in scholar¬
ship , Thursday, Boys day in industry”; on Friday the parade takes
place; Saturday is “Boys’ day in athletics”.
For the first time since Boys’ Week has been inaugurated in Malden
the students of Malden High School marched in the parade which has in
the past been paiticipated in only by the Junior High School students
Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Matthews, Mr. King, Mr. Goodreau, and various
boys of the school who have had previous militarv experience the High
School company was whipped into proper shape and was able to put up
a good front on parade.
Perhaps the most interesting day of all to High School students is
Boys day m government. At that time the entire school elects the officers
of the city government. The principal officers of the 1928 administration
m the above picture are Charles S. J. MacNeil, Jr., Mayor (seated) • from
left to right Charles W. Hill, Jr., Fire Comm.; George Trickey, chm. Board
of Aldermen; George E. Lodgen, Police Comm.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
BAPTIST CHURCH RECEPTION
Friday evening, May 18, 1928, is a date which will long be cherished
in the minds of the Seniors of 28 B. Why, you may ask? It was the
night of the reception of the Senior Council of the First Baptist Church
to the Seniors. The whole night was a paleidoscope of brilliant and be¬
wildering events, one after another. As soon as the Senior entered the
door, presumably somewhere about 8 o’clock, he was presented with a
delightful little program, the work of Evelyn Jackson, was taken in
charge by some attractive young lady, and was promptly ushered to the
receiving line. Here he was afforded the pleasant opportunity of meeting
Rev. and Mrs. W. Quay Rosselle, Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Nash, Lieutenant Alden
Alley, Mr. Witte and Carl MacKenna.
Now he was left to his own devices and became lost in the ma;ze of
Seniors and his hosts. The social hall of the Church was very prettily
decorated and was pervaded with an atmosphere of welcome and cheeri¬
ness. In these pleasant surroundings the Senior soon felt himself at home
and for a time was actively engaged in securing autographs.
Finally, the Seniors were all assembled and seated together and the
program for the evening opened. Carl MacKenna gave the welcome to
the Seniors and guests to which President George Lodgen of the Seniors,
fittingly responded. Blanche Thompson then favored with cornet solos,
accompanied by Lura Marsh. Rev. W. Quay Rosselle next made a few
remarks, in which he expressed the friendliness and welcome of the
Church to the whole class.
Carl MacKenna then introduced Lieutenant Alden S. Alley of the
New Jersey Law School, the speaker of the evening. Lieutenant Alley
proved to be a most interesting and informing speaker, dealing with the
importance of creating a common line of friendship between the nations
of the world and showing how this could be obtained.
To conclude a most entertaining program, a group of charming songs
was rendered by Mr. William Weigle, who was forced by the merited and
continued applause to give several encores.
THE FACULTY RECEPTION
On Friday evening, June 1, the faculty of M. H. S. tendered a reception
to the graduating class. It was a most enjoyable occasion, and for the
first time some of the teachers were shown in their true light. Many were
surprised by the talent displayed by the entertainers.
The program was an unusual one and was, therefore, greatly appreci¬
ated. The affair opened with a piano solo by Miss Pauline Watts. This
revealed to the Seniors a talent which many had never surmised. (Yes,
we must admit that there are some things that even a Senior doesn’t
know — until he is about to be graduated!) This was followed by a mono¬
logue by Miss Martha Abbott who held high her reputation as an actress.
The faculty chorus, consisting of Misses Cora E. Lane, Florence L. Whit-
tum, Adeline B. Wetmore, Annie F. Slattery, Helen Cooper, Helene Moore,
Evelyn L. Moore, Margaret H. O’Brien, Ruth E. Tucker, Violet Ackroyd,
sang “School Life”. The words of this song were written by Miss Annie
F. Slattery. Miss Octavia Chapin directed the chorus and Miss Pauline
Watts accompanied on the piano.
A One-Act Play, “The Rehearsal”, was the next number on the pro¬
gram. This was in the form of a rehearsal of a college play. The char-
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
acters were: “Freda/’ the coach, Mrs. Richard Ogden; “Barbara,” the
stricken old father, Miss Martha Abbott; “Christine,” Irish noble lady,
Miss Ardis Doliff ; “Sonia,” properties, Miss Gladys Watkins; “Gertrude,”
the daughter, Miss Ruth Day.
After another number by the chorus, “Farewell,” the words of which
were written by Miss Margaret F. Berton, the gathering adjourned to the
gymnasium which was decorated to represent a Japanese garden. The
decorations were done under the supervision of Miss Briggs.
Dancing followed, opening with a grand march directed by Misses
Laura Varnum and Martha Abbott and led by George Lodgen, class presi¬
dent, Charlotte Solomont, sec’y, Stanley Ames, treas., and Janice Copeland,
vice president. General dancing was then enjoyed and the elimination
dance was won by Miss Clara Gilman and George E. Lodgen.
Delightful refreshments were served under the direction of Mr. John
Bowers Matthews.
Misses A. Anna Dyer and Annie I. Rustin were general chairmen and
were assisted as follows : Miss Gertrude Wadsworth, play ; Miss Carrie M.
Darling, dancing; Miss Ruth E. Tucker, souvenir programs; J. B. Mat¬
thews, refreshments; decorations, Miss Helen H. Briggs, chm., Misses
Evelyn Moore and Margaret O’Brien.
“JOAN OF ARC” CANTATA
The Tuesday Morning Chorus has at last come to the top a Victor!
And what a victory it was! Bright lights, bright dresses, bright vests,
bright and shining faces, wonderful scenery, splendid chorus, and an out¬
standing success from beginning to end ! What more could be desired ?
Why all the excitement? You know! Thoughts of the grand pro¬
duction of the Joan of Arc Cantata . Nothing like it had ever been
seen in Malden High, and it is unlikely that such a cantata will ever be
repeated.
On the evening of May 3rd, all the members of the Chorus met in
th6 school dressed cts peasants. The girls had made bright cretonne
aprons, wore lovely bright colored dresses, and white caps and fischus
(made by the Sewing department and presented to the Chorus) to com¬
plete the costume. These could not have been improved upon, so natural
did they look. The little caps tied in back were so made as to allow
several wisps of hair to creep from beneath it, thus completing the ap¬
pearance of the hard-working peasant girl. They had been working too
Since the first of February they had sung and resung the cantata so as to
be sure of it.
The boys? They certainly were there in all their glory! Each wore
beneath his coat a very bright colored cretonne vest, and looked for all the
world identical to those men they were representing.
All certainly presented a stunning appearance as the curtain rolled
back and showed them sitting on the stage. The supreme moment had
come. The’ first chord was struck. All eyes were turned toward the con¬
ductor and then the soft music of a Spring morning filled the hall, holding
the audience spellbound. Thus the evening passed. First the soft strains
ot i Spring, telhng that the peasants were holding their annual May Festi¬
val. ^SText the Voices calling to Joan.
Easily but steadily the music advanced to that of warfare. Quicklv
but effectively the sound of the Voices crept in. As the Voices called
Joan, so did they leave her to the horrors of the burning stake For a
brief moment we hear the music of young people, but in a second it is
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
gone, and we know that the body of Joan of Arc is no more, — but the tri¬
umphant swelling chorus shows that her victorious spirit will inspire
France for all time.
Mrs. Alice Armstrong Kimball took the part of “Joan”. The other
soloists were Mr. Ralph Tailby and Mr. Raymond Simonds.
There is no necessity of saying that the success of the production is
in a great measure due to Miss Perkins.
Credit must indeed be given to the pianist, Doris Sanford, for her
untiring and conscientious work at each rehearsal and her splendid co¬
operation during the whole period of practicing.
Mr. Crowley and his selected orchestra must come in for their laurels
for their much needed help.
The stage effects were marvelous, and cannot be appreciated by read¬
ing of them. The figures of Joan were more than life size, and were
placed in such a position that the effect could not have been more beauti¬
ful. The Art department, under the supervision of Miss Lyons, must get
the credit for this help in making the scene so realistic.
Certainly no one could wish for any better success than the Tuesday
Chorus enjoyed in its production of “Joan of Arc”.
LATIN CLUB MEETING
A very successful meeting of the S. P. Q. R., Latin Club, was held
Tuesday evening, January 24, in the school library. The officers of the
club offered a delightful program that includted every member.
The program was headed by a Latin Play, “Dido”, which was coached
by Miss Whittum, the adviser of the club, and enacted by the following
members :

Joseph Zimmerman gave a violin solo, accompanied by Charlotte
Hurwitz.
A cross word puzzle in charge of Mary Mrose proved very amusing,
as the audience racked their brains for hints of a Latin vocabulary.
George Lodgen, the consul, brought the meeting, over which he had pre¬
sided, to an end.
Refreshments were served, and the “Cog” orchestra offered music
for the dancing which completed an enjoyable evening.

SENIOR OUTING
On Monday, June 11, Class 8 left the high school in summer raiment,
gay spirits, and five busses to go to Whalom Park on the senior outing.
Mr. Batchelder and Miss Slattery, both of whom are famous for their
taciturnity (?) accompanied us, as well as our adviser, Miss Dearborn.
We are sorry to say that Mr. Jenkins was unable to come. However, Mr.
Goodreau took his place and everything was rosy again.
The trip out was greatly enjoyed. Of course, we indulged in ruining
our voices for Miss Perkins when going through Medford, but that was
only to be expected. At last we saw a sign that said “Whalom Park 1
mile.” Ce qui nous a fait tres contents, (pardon — force of habit), but
some of our more worldly members said, “Oh in the country add 2, multi¬
ply by 5 to get the real distance.” Nevertheless, Oh rapture, the sign was
accurate and we arrived. Whalom Park is on the edge of a beautiful lake,
and possesses such delightful properties as a boathouse full of canoes and
rowboats, and a bath-house where the bathing suits are woolen and fit you.
Some of the bravest of our number went in swimming immediately
and we must say that the water was wonderful — cool, invigorating, and
refreshing. Of course there were many who took possession of canoes
immediately and relinquished them only for dinner. Little groups wand¬
ered off here and there and we saw Mr. Goodreau with a background of
admiring girls give a little boy who was fishing a nickel. The dear child
was so overwhelmed with this generosity that he nearly fell into the lake.
It was not long before we were summoned to the dance pavillion to
eat. While waiting for the last preparations to be made several interest¬
ing snapshots were taken, among them one in which Mr. Batchelder had
his arms about Miss Dearborn. This, we are sorry to say, did not come
out, whether because of the shock received by the camera or its owner we
hesitate to say. At last, we were allow to eat. Fruit cocktail, soup, roast
chicken, salad, potatoes, ice cream, cake and coffee, it certainly tasted good.
Between courses we had several impromptu speeches by members of the
faculty, all of whom seemed to be trying to explain the compromising
position in which Miss Dearborn and Mr. Batchelder were photographed.
It has not as yet been satisfactorily explained. After dessert, with
Charlotte Hurwitz at the piano, we sang the school song.
After dinner some of us went on the roller coaster “The Shooting-
Star” which was quite thrilling, almost as good (or as bad) as the Cyclone.
Canoes were again in order and at four o’clock with great reluctance we
came in off the lake in response to the insistent honking of the bus horns.
We started home, more or less tired, but very happy. But the excitement
was not over yet for a very hard looking “arm of the law” stopped us for
having too many in one of the busses and one had a flat in West Medford.
(Imagine our chagrin.)
At last, however, we arrived at the square, about seven o’clock,
unanimous in our feelings of remorse at coming home and of sunburn!
A very successful outing! May every other class enjoy theirs as much!
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
THE FACULTY PLAY, “THE DOVER ROAD”
The footlights glare, the curtain is drawn, and the audience waits in
sheer expectancy. At last, the stage itself, a room it is, and in it, Mr. Hall,
alias Dominic, a most impressive and efficient butler. Silence reigns — and
then the bell — the door is opened and in sweep Anne and Leonard, more
commonly known as Miss Wadsworth and Mr. Goodreau. We are given
to understand from the conversation which ensues that Leonard, wrapped
in a raccoon coat, is much disturbed over his car’s breaking down on the
Dover Road, forcing him and his “er-er wife” to seek shelter at this hotel.
Our eyes then turn to a figure sauntering forth from a doorway. We find
that Mr. Bartlett in a dressing gown quite dominates the scene as a host.
Mr. Bartlett is a perfect Mr. Latimer. Surely he is not acting, those
gestures are so natural, those expressions so characteristic ! Mr. Latimer,
a wealthy gentleman, has a hobby for meddling in the matrimonial affairs
of others. He strives to have them look before they leap, by exposing their
true selves to one another. Thus Anne and Leonard are told they are
prisoners, and that two other prisoners are to leave the following day, hav¬
ing been under trial for one week. The next scene discloses Miss O’Brien
breakfasting with Mr. Smith. The former, as Eustasia, incidentally
Leonard’s dear wife, is too urgently entreating the latter as Nicholas, to
eat more. Mr. Smith as a disillusioned lover is very amusing and very
much at ease on the stage, while Miss O’Brien is particularly sweet as a
motherly young thing ; too sweet to suit Nicholas !
Complications set in. Leonard, hungry, unshaven, unsympathetic,
pajama clad, loses all his glamor in Anne’s eyes. Eustasia meets her poor
sick Leonard, and her heart softens towards the husband who never had
accommodated her by falling sick. He instantly falls under her care.
Learning of this, he plans with Nicholas to run away from women. Mr.
Latimer offers to help by pretending illness to occupy Eustasia’s mind!
As he writhes in pretended agony, Anne enters and strives to soothe this
sudden attack. Latimer quite enjoys it. Can we ever again take Mr.
Bartlett seriously after witnessing this delightful scene? Miss Wads¬
worth is so entrancing, even when she remarks that “faces look so funny
upside down ! And then Anne bids her host adieu, returning reluctantly
to her home and father via the Dover Road. Our Mr. Latimer withdraws
as unobtrusively as he appeared, but in our memories he will always remain
as the man with a most extraordinary hobby, portrayed by a man with a
most remarkable interpretive ability. We then hear Dominic ushering in
two more victims, two more dauntless lovers, two more travelers on the
Dover Road.
COG PRIZE SPEAKING CONTEST
The fourth annual Prize Speaking Contest of the Cognoscendi Causa
Society was held on March 2, 1928, at eight o’clock P.M. in the Malden High
^chool Hall. Mr. Jenkins, our headmaster, acted as chairman, and Mrs.
IT ™ staples of the School Committee and Mr. Elbridge Davis, judge of
the Malden District Court, acted as judges.
As is the custom, the contest was divided into three departments ■
Current events, oratory, and dramatics.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
The judges were to rank each speaker by a certain number of points
for certain qualities : Interpretation, 25 points, Appearance, 15, Pronuncia¬
tion, 10.
During the intermission, between the actual contest and the an¬
nouncement of the prizes, the high school orchestra rendered several
selections.
Mr. Jenkins finally announced the awards. He said that there was
a tie for first place between Dorothy Moses and George Lodgen, but that
the judges, after consulting the rules in case of a tie, decided the following:
First prize, Dorothy Moses; Second prize, George Lodgen; Third prize,
Ruth Swan.
The two boys who represented Malden High School at Colby College
are George Lodgen and Louis Kaplan.
The members of the committee responsible for the success of the
contest are Louis Weiner, chairman, George Lodgen, John Egan, and John
Staren.
SENIOR RECEPTION
Thursday, June 14, Class 8 was tendered one of the most elaborate and
novel receptions ever presented. Class 7, our hosts, had many entertain¬
ing and novel ideas which were thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
Charles MacNeil, president of Class 7, made the welcoming speech
after which the class seven orchestra, under the able direction of Mr. Smith
played a selection. Then a real two act play was presented. Ruth
Winchell, as Rebecca Luke, the eccentric old maid played her part well.
Henry Greenberg made a most realistic butler while Mary Coggan as Patty
the maid who aspires to ballet, hopped about the stage in great style.
The part of Katherine Rogers, played by Florence Qualters was delight¬
fully enacted, and Anthony Fernald as Philip Royson made a capital
yachtsman. Constance Buckley as Marian Bryant and Meyer Rosenzweig
as Robert Brown furnished the complications and were both the hit of
the evening.
After the Orchestra had played another selection Charles MacNeil
presented Mr. Smith with a gift of appreciation for his part in making
the reception a success, and presented Misses Watts and Dearborn with
bouquets of flowers.
The next feature was the surprise of the evening. A screen had been
lowered and with Mr. Smith at the stereopticon and Norman Carter at the
piano “I Told Them All About You” with variations, was flashed upon the
screen, to the infinite delight of the audience.
In the gymnasium the Boston DeMolay orchestra furnished the music
to which a great number of couples danced. Later on in the evening the
elimination dance was won by Miss Eleanor Mangene and George Reardon.
The only regretful part of the whole affair was that it had to end at eleven
o’clock at which time everyone left thoroughly delighted with the evening’s
entertainment.
THE MALDONIAN 1928-B
“You to the left and I to the right,
For the ways of men must sever —
And it well may be for a day and night,
And it well may be forever.
But whether we meet or whether we part
(For our ways are past our knowing).
A pledge from the heart to its fellow heart
On the ways we all are going!
Here’s luck !
For we know not where we are going.”
